You have to remove the oil pan first - the diff stays up in the body until you remove the pan, then the diff comes out.

SOURCE: 2003 Trailblazer EXT - replacing the front

it's possible the gasket could be sticking. give a few taps with a hammer just dont go crazy on it, i think it's aluminum. hit it on a well reinforced part, or use a block of wood to spread out the blow.

SOURCE: have a 2003 chevy trailblazer: battery went dead

common problems when battery died over night usually cause by someone left a light on, it can be the door is not being close completely to over head/map light and not knowing it. have the alternator check, any auto parts store can test it for you. to see if it working properly. next is to check the battery cells to see if its good and maintain its charge, auto parts store can also test it for you. a bad cell will also cause the battery not to hold or retained its charges. get a jump from a friend and see if your car will start. if its does than it will be your battery.

SOURCE: replace low beam headlight on 2003 chevy trailblazer

I just replaced the low-beam bulb on my 2003 Chevy Trailblazer. The grill just needs to be loosed slightly. Then, raise two L shaped brackets, one on each side. For the inside one, I needed to use a flathead screwdriver to get to it. The light assembly can then be pulled out. Remove the rubber cover and rotate the bulb one quarter turn left to release it. Pull out the bulb, replace with a new one ($11.50) from Advance Auto Parts, and reverse the process. Once I figured it out, took about 10 minutes total.

I have a 05 chevy trailblazer im trying to drop the oilpan to get the front timing cover off to do this there is a inner shaft inside the axle that goes through the pan how can i get this inner shaft...

You have to remove the differential and the controller from the oil pan. The shaft usually come out with the controller, some times not. Use pliers and pull it out , it will come. Be careful pulling the differ parts off the oil pan. These can break, pan also. Pry them out(back and forth), use plenty of spray lube. You also have to remove the valve cover to get the timing cover out. Hope you have a manual for this.

How to seperate engine and tranny once all bolts are out on a 2002 chevy trailblazer.Ive removed all bellhousing bolts,starter,torque converter bolts but the engine and tranny still wont bust loose.what...

There are dowel pins on each side of the block, that the transmission goes on to. You might try spraying some WD-40 between the block and bellhousing. You might try using a pry bar, or moving the transmission up and down to get it to break lose from the block.
