Not every town in Aus has land rover specialists, thought a dedicated land rover forum would be a good place to start but maybe i'm wrong.

Shouldn't have to be a LR specialist to get a salisbury diff centre out. They are just a Dana afterall.

A jeep or F-truck specialist - or anyone who works on trucks with dana axles, should know how to remove a salisbury.

It is fairly easy:
Drain oil
Remove axles (halfshafts)
Remove diff pan
Remove bearing caps
Use a couple of tyre levers or a crow bar to remove the centre (I have never needed to use a spreader to remove or refit).

The only way I can see it being difficult is if the bearing outer races have spun and welded themselves to the housing, or the pinion has seized (in which case undo the pinion nut).

They know what there doing, The centre just wont budge. I thought maybe there was a retaining bolt or something hidden somewhere that they dont know about. The pinions not seized as he drove it in there but maybe the carrier bearings have spun or worn some sort of groove thats stopping it from coming out.
