Front Drive shaft SNAPPED in DIFF!!!Help :(
 
Ok so I am a Dumb idiot.
I was trying to remove the drivers side front drive shaft and while prying it off (with an Air chisel, What was I thinking) I sheared the shaft in the Diff!!!!
Any words of wisdom would be great. You don't have to scorn me, I already feel like throwing up.
Thanks for the input.

Remove the passenger side axle then the angle gear. Then you should be able to tightly work through the hole from the passenger side and get the piece out of the drivers side.

What works for next time you need to pull the axles, use a ball joint seperator between the axle and trans. Never had any problems. Just follow techs advice and you should be able to get it out.

Update:
Drilled it, tapped it, pulled it.
Thanks to all for the advice.
What a Dumb A##.
Agian Thanks
