From the diff?
The axle is held onto the diff with a roll pin. The diff has male stubs attached to it, and the axle is held onto the stub with the pin.

Look inside the male stub, there is a star head/8pt bolt that connects it to one of the pinion gears. As to what size this is or where the heck your going to find a deepwell that will fit in there im still looking myself. Let me know if you find something

All I've seen are held in with a reverse torx head bolt. Are you sure it's not just covered in dirt and grease?
I've never been able to find the proper socket, but if it isn't too rusted a standard 1/4 drive 8mm will work if you pound it onto the head. An impact wrench is a BIG help here.

Taking a quick look at my FSM, it looks like for the LSD, the stubs (spindles) are simply held in with circlips.
I looked, and yours is just like the one I took out of mine, and the hole is just a hole. Nothing in it. It mentions the spindle set bolt for non-LSD units......

So you just gripped the stubs somehow and pulled them out?
Did you put a rod or something through the spring pin holes to have something to hold onto?
Any special tools used, like a puller to remove the bearing races?
I need to get the axle stubs out without damaging them so I can remove the LSD from the diff housing.
