Default Broken Axle Stuck in Diff.

Anyone have any ideas on how to remove the rest of my axle out of my diff without pulling the other side out and pushing it through?

Weld a bolt to the broken piece and use a slide hammer to yank it out.

Maybe pliers...like size big... same thing happened to me... power shifted 2-3 with a heavy spec twin disc... would be good time to drain the diff and do a diff bushing... not sure how much meat is there to grab...

Removed the other axle, Put a screw driver in the diff in from the other side and hit the broken axle stub out. Or you can removed the carrier from the case and get it out that way.
