Dana 60 carrier removal

Maybe someone can inlighten me on a little problem I have. I know this is a solid axle, however I would think it would be the same for any axle/carrier.

I cannot remove the carrier from the axle. I removed the bearing caps, held onto the carrier, lifted the dang axle in the air and gave her hell. Nothing.

Any other axle it just popped out. So any ideas, suggestions or reasons?

Thanks!

Could one use some heat to help? I sure hope I don't have too much trouble...

You could also try to rotate the pinion to help it walk off the teeth. Since there is nothing to hold it down on the pinion, it may help lift it off it. Do note any shims that come out with the bearings and what side. The shims push the carrier/ring gear side to side to mate the gear mesh correctly.
