If it's just an axle, use a magnet and change the fluid!
Screw pulling it out.

As far as procedure, I'd stick a telescoping magnet in where the axles go and fish around. Then when I drained the fluid I'd stick it in there too.
Last, inspect the axle shaft first to see how clean of a break it was and how far into the splines it broke. It may be that it broke right at the edge of the splines where the oil seal rides. In that case, don't drain the fluid first, let the fluid push out the material through the axle holes when you finally pull the old axle out.

Heads up, youmany need to pull the passenger axle intermediate shaft to push out the piece of axle that is stuck in the shaft. IDK about the quaife but the torsen has a small hole in it that you could use a long punch to push the piece of axle out of the differential from the opposite side.
