Mini needle nose pliers. Point the pin at 90°, towards the slot in the diff cup & slide it out with the pliers. Might have to apply a slight amount of pressure on the outdrive into the cup to release a little tension the cup drive hole may be holding against the internals.

Thank you, i don't have the right tool i will order one, you confirm me that the pin need to go out to this hole in the diff case? this is why this hole is made for?

Leaving the lsd plate in there isn’t helping matters. Rotate the pin orientation so it has complete freedom to leave the output shaft in the composite outer 4 cross sections.

The hole in the diff case is for diff fluid bleed off if overfilled. Put the pin back in the center of the drive & lift out the LSD plate, then try again, pointing it at the slot in the cup for easier removal. Take a paper clip & bend it into a hook to remove the plate & push the pin out.

i dit not left the LSD plate, what you see are mark that was made by the LSD plate.

Thank you,
