Default bad day with rear end

well first off we got a late start on it, then once we got going, i got the g-80 out and ring gear off. next i went off to the pinion and it started!!!! couldnt get the yoke off and finally got it off about 30 mins later. once that was off, the front bearing was pretty much froze on the pinion, so we had to beat that off, that took about 45 mins. once that was out we tried to get the rear bearing off and it wouldnt budge, finally about 30 mins later we got it off alright!!!!! IN ABOUT 1 MILLION PIECES. so i start calling around (now being 9 PM), the stores that were open didnt have one or didnt carry them and couldnt get them "imagine that". so now i am have to wait until tomorrow and hope this little motorparts and bearings store is open, and if not im screwed. Ohh and we started at like 5 PM
