    Same issue on my 13. I’ve done the solder fix and the code still comes up as a permanen dtc on a scanner. Weird thing is on my AP it shows it under “read codes” but doesn’t come up under the I/M readiness tab. It shows that MIL is on but shows 0 codes. Another note all my emissions monitors are set including the evap which leads me to believe there’s no actual fault in the evap system. I’ve driven about 3 days since last resetting the ecu, just waiting to see if the permanent code cycles away. Has your light come on since the solder fix?

    Okay, But how did you get it OUT of the oil pan? I have all four of the bolts out, the actuator housing, the intermediate/axle shaft, Drive shaft. All of it it out and off. Except the Differential carrier that will NOT move. Won't even rotate in the pan. Is there some special trick to getting it out? Special tool? I need help and no one is showing how they actually did it.

    It pops out. But sometime you have to smack it with a large heavy bar to get them to pop out. Pry bars rarely work, needs that smack. I usually use a large very heavy bar, hit it from the underside going outward, almost like a pool stick hitting a ball.

    Jacking the motor up and over worked and didn’t have to touch the rack&pinion. All I did was take the two bolts out of the top of the fan shroud and had enough movement to get it out and another one back in. For a 64 year old man working in the driveway, five hours start to finish including replacing the top ball joints while it was apart.

    There are threads in the end of it. I think they are 1/4" standard thread. It has to come out from the passenger side. Usually I can just hand it with my fingers and wiggle it out. But one that was stuck i bolted a chain on, broke the chain, then I welded the chain on and yanked it out with a slide hammer.

The only things I did differently was : 1) Didnt need to remove steering gear, u can actually angle the end up and the diff clears no problem. 2) I used a ratchet strap and wrapped it around one of the mounting points on the oil pan and ratchet. Regardless YOU ARE THE MAN!! THANK YOU!!
