Broke inner axle stub, need info
Broke the driver side inner cv stub on my 05 v. Broke clean off inside the diff. My question is how the inner cv is retained? Pulled the pass side off and can now get thru the diff to reach the drivers broke stub. Can I just beat it thru the diff or does it have any sort of retainer? I tapped on it some but it's not budging at all, wanna make sure I'm not gonna bust the diff case by accident if I go to whaling on it due to a cclip retainer etc. Thanks.

Just snapped my inner stub on the drivers side. If I am understanding the best way to get the remaining portion out of the differential is to remove the passenger side, then use a rod of some sort (or socket extension as mentioned) insert it from the passenger side through the differential and pound out the broken stub?
Thanks in advance.

Ive broken plenty like this and the easiest way to get the stub out is pull the other axle amd grab a long punch/rod/screwdriver or anything else that will fit by the pin and take a hammer hit. I always leave the fluid in while knocking the stub out to help flush the broken shards. I also use a small magnet and go thru the drian plug hole to fish for anything still in there. Replacing the axle seals is also a good idea

Any recommendations on where to source a replacement stub? My initial searches are not turning up anything, or is it more common to find an entire shaft in the classifieds and use that?
