I just replaced front diff pinion seal this past weekend. The drive shaft coming out relatively easy - after removing 6 GIUBO bolts, using pry-bar, push drive shaft toward transfer case about 1/2". With big screwdriver separate centering plate from the drive shaft itself - stick screwdriver in the gap showing on the attached picture. The GIUBO will drop down with the centering plate. Than, pull drive shaft out from the the transfer case.
Good luck with your project. Please keep up with updates.
