for those who snap CV's well i snapped my first last night having a little fun 
well heres a tip on how to get the broken peice out of the diff with out removing the diff and requires no drilling or welding.
once i got the axle out i was trying to figure out how i was gonna get the peice out.. thought of drilling and tapping and even welding a bolt to the peice and pulling it but i came to a much better solution. i removed the other axle and found a 14 in very skinny flathead and used a hammer to pop the peice out from the opposite side. worked like a charm and all i did was use a magnet to get any debris out from the inner splines and flushed the fluid. hope this helps u guys

I took one apart recently and the axle piece broken in the diff would not come out because it had broken in three places and marred a lot of the side gear, jamming itself into the hole where the axle passes through the differential carrier to spline into the side gear.
In a bind a long roll pin punch works too.

Pull the axle out in clean out the carrier, flush the fluild, and make sure nothing made its way to the bearings.

I'm over 500rwhp and I have broken the passengers side inner CV joint. Stub was fine but it shattered the internals. I was in third and on the floor. Changed lanes and when the back right hit the seem in the road it snapped. Then I sheared all the lugs off the counter shaft in the transmission. That happened on a 3-4 shift. I went to 4th and had nothing. I have an Exedy twin disk and it's an awesome clutch by the way.

I broke an axle inside my STS-V diff (same setup, different ratio) and it marred the diff pretty good where the axle goes through. There were chunks everywhere. Taking the whole thing down doesn't take that much longer and is a better way to do it. I ended up sleeving my diff because of the damage to it.
