I've been using a crowbar trying to pry them off but they really don't want to move. The diff is welded would this stop it coming apart? Any help is good because I'm going to rotorstock on the weekend and I need a car!

My diff seals are leaking so I'm replacing them but can't figure out how to get the driveshaft mount (thingies) off, I undid the bolts but doesn't want to come free I've been going at it for two days now and it's starting to get me mad.

You don't need to undo the bolts to get the drive flanges out. They are only held in with a metal spring clip and should pop out quite easily with a pry bar behind them.
If the diff has been welded it's possible they are now a permanant fixture, but it depends who welded what.
