I can't get the front differential out of my 1995 S-10 pickup. It is free from all other parts (axles, u-joint, frame, etc), but I cannot get it to drop. Do I need to lift the engine to create the space needed? I'm stuck and have exhausted every idea. Please comment, I'm at wits end.

yes you need to lift the engine a bit to get that front differential out, the best way is to take the center bolts out for the motor mounts (i'm pretty sure its set up that way) if its not, just un-bolt the mounts lift the engine with a jack and a block of wood, make sure the jack is supporting the engine before you unbolt the mounts, lift up untill you can wiggle the differential out, it takes some effort and twisting/turning the diff. to get it to come out,
