This morning I got all 12 cap screws holding the thing together out. Still would not come apart. Tonight I got out the mini sledge and got it to pop open. Had to beat on it some more to get the axle gears out. Some time with a punch getting the other gears out. The mating surfaces of the axle gears were the worst. Galled really bad. The side gears all had some wear lines in the middle. No big chunks out of any teeth though.
