Default can't pull out diff PLEASE HELP!

I am at my school... in the parking lot... changing gears.

I know, don't even comment on it. Anyway, I got the entire assembly out and it's sitting in my apartment. I have the pin, clips, and axles all out of the car. The diff seems to be extremely stuck though and when I say stuck, I mean STUCK. I have tried prying at it with a massive breaker bar and had no luck. I don't have a torch here so I feel like I'm screwed. I have a couple weeks of school left, but I don't want my car apart outside for that amount of time. I was hoping to have this done tonight. If you're wondering how I will be removing the bearing, I do have a clamshell puller. I would greatly appreciate any help on this. I just want to get the diff out.

You have the whole axle sitting in your apartment? Bet that smells nice! From the videos I've seen, they just use a pry bar.

Finally ended up getting off right after I posted this. Thanks for the video though. That's pretty much what I ended up doing. I just used the breaker bar on the bolt of the ring gear for leverage and a few good thrusts got it out. Now I've got the pinion bearing off so the next step will be assembly!
