Ok so I've done a couple (Chevy)rear difs, and pinion literally popped out with a tap. I'm looking at this one and appears the bearing welded itself. Drove 4 miles in the morning and bearing is jacked up. So I bought a pinion ring and gear kit with installl kit, so I don't care about the pinion. I've been beating on it till the shaft flattened like a mushroom. I'm going to get my tanks filled tomorrow and try some heat.
Am I missing something?

I can't see that that sticking in there like that unless something is holding it from the other side....

Anyways, here a vid of the mustang rear end so you can familiarize yourself with it better. It's not perfect by any means and in my opinion makes some pretty rookie mistakes/oversights but it gives you a good overview.

Yeah I watched that video already, seems like the outer pinion bearing welded itself from heat load to the pinion. The bearing is still in there mangled.
