Broken Axle Stub Stuck Axle Housing>>>
Yep, I have broken axle. This one sucks because it doesn't slide out more than maybe a 1/4 inch, it must have broken and mushroomed inside the diff. So far I have tried: slide hammer, ...Read More

Well, my machine shop is impacted till after New Years, but if I want to drive a drill press after hours I know where to go. I have to think some more. Jared

This is Jim Hall's magic tool. The fork is designed to slip through the first side gear, straddle the cross shaft, and poke the broken stub out the opposite side. The other piece is a thin walled...

Yeah, I think my problem is alot different than the pushing out of just the broken remains, thus breaking the tool. I might just have to scrap the whole housing, if I cant figure away to get it out....

Perhaps you can fix the tool and try again. It's just a couple of grade 8 bolts welded to that rod, and then ground down a bit to fit through the splines of the side gears. Then maybe you can try...

Rube, let me know if you can't get it rebuilt, and I'll make you a new one, n/c.

I am thinking something stronger. 5.5" long, 1" in diameter, .625" cut down the center, .75" (I think, anyways its the distance across 3 splines of the axle) a little grinding and threaded to the...

Did you drive somewhere on this after it popped?

I made a tool many years ago from a round aprx 1/4 Subaru trunk spring that was inset into a piece of 3/4 bar stock about 4 feet long. The hardened trunk spring will take the force better than a piece...

Jared, I see no reason why your idea wouldn't work. Perhaps you could get a custom axle manufacturer to cut longer splines, say 6" or so, into an old axle shaft. This would be a perfect fit and as...

I am not sure about a rover but I had this problem happen on a power wagon, sort of the same principle. I pounded a piece of plastic conduit with a split in it over the broken piece and then pulled it...

I only drove about about 50 yards. I think hobbing gear would be too expensive on the tool I need. I banged away for 2 hrs with the slide hammer and move the axle a wee bit, at this rate I'll be done...

I had to drive home to fix my axle because I wasn't in a friendly place when it broke. When i finally got it up on the lift the thing wouldn't budge, then like yours I gor about 1/4" out then after a...

I seem to 'remember' a trick in this regard. Remove the hub and reinstall it backwards. That gives you a little more space for pry-bars, bigger levers or other implements of destruction. Yeah, the...

The more I think abou it I think we drove it out from the other side,we used something like one of those 5/8" inch ground rods I can't remember how we got past the pin in the diff, maybe ground a flat...

I'm sure all of the pounding isn't doing the carrier any good, you'll probably need to replace at least some of the bits. The carrier bearing may get damaged in the process too. Sometimes when...

The more I read thru this posting, the more confusing it gets. It sounds more like you have a broken diff, not a snapped halfshaft. If the halfshaft is broken, the long easy piece should come right...

Thats right I have given up. I have bent a 2 pry bars, worn the stop off my 5 lb slide hammer so now its just a slide and a weight, my arms are numb from hammering, my back is sore from pulling, my...

After it's all over, you just HAVE to cut the axle casing, some of us are dying to see what things look like inside. Hank in Cheyenne

cut the cover off of it to see what is up- then put a Toyota 8" in it and sewer cap it.
