• The site migration is complete! Hopefully everything transferred properly from the multiple decades old software we were using before. If you notice any issues please let me know, thanks! Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

Maybe JB weld some threaded rod to the center of the broken axle shaft, stick a thick washer on it and then a nut at the end of the rod to keep the washer in place and then use a slide hammer to pop it loose. Either that or have someone weld it to it, but not sure if all that heat would be good for the seals around it.

Technically it only has to hold enough to get the c-clip on the end of the axle to pop free from the trans and out it comes. I'd think some JB would hold enough for that.

Also, not sure how good of luck you'd have drilling into the anyway as it's probably some super hard steel.

THis is probably another noob question but how does the c-clip come off of the axle, it will just pull out and grab the new axle when i slide it in?
 
The C-clip is attached to the end that is still in the trans. When you get your new CV axle there should be a new clip on the trans. end already. No need to remove the old one from the broken piece.

Yes, it will pop loose from the trans and then when you install the new axle give it a shove inward towards the trans. and it will click into place.

I have an hd axle and diff on the way and will be working on it soon!

... Well anyways, just smack the output shaft from the other side and it should pop the diff out as well. Just make sure to unbolt the diff cover.

Thanks, I've ordered an had axle and will have an hd diff on the way. I see the zzp hd upgrade kit includes an hd diff cover too, I suppose i need one of these for the bigger hd axle? Does anyone have one I could buy off of them?
 
The way to fix this.

Drain trans.
Remove rest of passenger axle from wheel bearing
Remove the engine to trans bracket
Disconnect the VSS (sensor on trans cover right by axle)
Remove other two bolts holding cover on trans
Remove cover
With big screwdriver between diff pin and output shaft, give it a whack to seperate it.
Now the diff is in your hand. Either put a new one in or pop the old shaft since it's in your hand.
Reinstall and put in a new axle. While you are at it.. fix the driverside too.
 


We picked up a trans and diff today, someone want to tell me how we can tell if it really is an hd differential?
