I had to tear the other side apart and knock it out with a center punch.
There is a small pass through hole in the differential.
Just thinking, couldnt you drill a hole in the part that broke. Tap it and use one of those body punches to pop it out? I know what a pain in the azz it is to pull an axel.
Pulling the other side took maybe 15 minutes.
It is a simple job. Pop the tie rod, end link and ball joint. Then hit the 2 nuts for the carrier bearing. Pull the suspension off the ball joint and let it hang. Pull the intermediate shaft out far enough to let it clear.
Drilling into a piece of billet steel (even non chromium) and in that tight space would be a major PITA. Not to mention the metal shavings might drop into the transmission. Then you still have to figure out a way to get a slide hammer to attach to the piece and when you do hope it doesn't break the attachment!

It was not broke; Yet I fixed it anyway.
