Removing a differential pin
I took the bolt out thinking the pin might simply slide out. It wiggles a little but I'm reluctant to force it.
Any suggestions?
(I want to remove the C-clips to pull my axle shafts and grease the bearings)

How do you grease differential bearings?

Okay -didn't know what was an option.
I don't have input on the pin -been a while that I've had to remove one, and I've done it only the one time.
Maybe roll the axle to align the pin to an opening? Opposite side of the pin?

After watching a video on getting to the C-clips, I see there's no real need to pull the axle shafts, 'cause there's no bearings on them. I'm more used to doing Dana 27s and 44s and ASSumed. Thanks, Ingot for your help!

Post a pic of the bolt you removed. It should be this long with a smooth round tip:

If it's shorter and the tip is rough or flat, it broke inside the carrier.
