Oh come on, we knew that 3 months ago.

As far as work without pulling the diff, that won't happen.

Even if you were able to pull the yoke out, you won't be able to fix the slop.

Take your entire pumpkin out and either buy a new one or have that one rebuilt with some 3.33s "while you're in there". You're looking at about $500+ to have it rebuilt with new gears assuming you pull it out of the car yourself.

The batwing is the cover. So the only way to gain access to the inside of the diff is to remove it.

It's actually much easier than it looks. You can use a floor jack under it, but I'd recommend a cheap transmission jack from Harbor Freight. You'll need a second jack of some sort , or maybe just a block, to hold the Cbeam+trans+motor assembly up. If you leave all that weight hanging off the motor mounts you'll break your distributor.

Are you going to do the trans at the same time? Buy 88black's 4+3.
