If you decide to take the axle stubs off either to check if it's a torsen, or to swap in single piece axels, here's the super simple trick to popping them out: wedge in a pry bar & pry without a ton of force, but bop the stub with a dead blow hammer opposite of where you're prying. The prying force tends to kink the stub over slightly and make it bind.
You know it's a torsen if you can see daylight through it with the stubs removed.
