Just occurred to me ... I did not raise the rear for this because I can fit under and reach everything. So....could I really gently jack it by the differential? I was thinking that might put some pressure on it to help break it free?
Concern: I'd actually be BREAKING something else free.

Don't jack it by the differential.

The cover. It won't budge with all bolts out and top in loose

Efforts thus far: spraying around outside of cover and into bolt holes with kroil and PBB, abuse with BFM, wedge paint scraper under cover + BFM.
Please don't say propane (?) (hi gas tank - Cruiser how quickly can you get here?? haha)

Good stiff paint scraper that has a shapened edge on it. Tapped in evenly all around with a small hammer. It will break loose.
