I'm replacing my driver's side axle and now I've come across a problem. I opened up the diff housing and all that and I got to the bolt that holds the pinion shaft from sliding out of the differential. I removed the bolt easily and then I notice only about 1/3 of the bolt came out. Half the of the threaded part is still in the diff housing and the rest is in the shaft. I can't remove the axle without first getting this shaft out to remove the c-lock!
Is this situation even possible to have fixed or is my entire rearend going to have to be removed and have it machined out??
Nothing goes easy with this car.
I took pictures to help explain the situation, I'll post them up later tonight when I get a chance.
