Wow, the design of that LockRight must've really changed... (last D44 I did was through the carrier - only had to pull the pin to get the side gears out -- dang!

Well from what I read around the web, you have to remove the carrier to remove the ring to get the pin out no matter the gearing. I really don't know yet for sure until I crack open the cover I guess. I hope that is the case then it won't take so long. But if it does, that is fine....I like working on cars anyway.

Thanks RCP Phx

On a c-clip like the ChryCo 8.25 you can't pull the axles without the clips being out - and you can't get the clips out without pushing the axle into the carrier (which means the shaft comes out or rotates) - since the ChryCo uses a round shaft... rotating doesn't do much...

You'll find that you'll be able to pull the pinion shaft and drop the side gears wil little effort -- on the higher (numerical) ratio rings, starting at like 4.56:1, there's usually a need to shave a tooth to get the assembly back together, so that cut should already be made if you're in that range...
