Agreed, I already decided to try some heat and see if I can release the locktite, am currently waiting for the temperature to come up a bit (39 here) as I am working in my driveway. When I first started having trouble, I considered heat, but refrained due to the oily crud covering the case, since I need to try it, I'll clean it up and give it a go.
On a side note, I guess the bolts are really a blessing in disguise, if they all had come out like the first one, I would not have disassembled the differential, and would not have discovered the bad cone bearing.
