If the screw on the bottom of that post is set and tightened up as best it can, will that post still move? Cause if so, then I think that may be my problem. If that screw should set that post, then it's something else...

No it shouldn't move. I remember one side came out no problem and the other was a pain in a$$

Can you post a photo of your actual screw from the top/side? Curious if we aren't imagining something right.

Here is the pic...

Lol... now next time pull the whole clip... that was unnecessary roughness...

So let's back up a step, what worked to get it out? When you had said that drivers both on top and bottom at the same time didnt tighten the top screw it sure sounded like the hole was stripped...

I think the screw was spinning in excess loctite, as I wound up taking the claw side of my hammer to lever up the side of the screw. Upon doing that it slid up like an 1/8th of an inch, catching on some area that didn't have loctite, able to hex it the rest of the way.

Clean the screw up some, in the pic the screws are back to try and re thread so to say, left it like so for a few now. Went to a friends for a bit, when I get back I'll finish switching out the gear for the diff and out it all back together!

Thanks for the help and information, from everyone. Nature of this forum! ?‍?
