If you have ADD you must at least deconstruct one of your CVs and use it to bolt the wheel bearing together, it needs the pressure to keep it preloaded. Then youd just have to plug the diff. What part is being eaten though

 

I have a j shift

Perhaps, ABS has been an option since 1995 and only became standard-ish in 2001.

 

You'll have to break down a CV to keep your wheel bearing together. The diff is who knows, i'd plug it but you can probably get that stub out after you pull the seal and weld a shaft to the broken stud

 

Ok. Cool. Thanks for the info.
Yeah I thought about welding a shaft to it but its super far in there. Not sure if you can even get to it to get a good weld on.
Dropping it and getting a shop to pull it might be my only option

 

You could unbolt the extension shaft housing from the other side and punch straight through and knock it out from the other side.

 

What would i need to do to go about doing that?

 

Oh shoot. Ok. So the axle that broke off is actually in the extension housing. The driver side i just shot for the bearings.

 

Ah shit, thats harder. That side is a blind hole that that CV engages. Whoever fixes it will have to weld I'd suspect

 

@Kwikvette

Thank you for the package brother. Let a brother know when he needs to go to war. I swear if you’d around Knoxville in TN I got you.

 

Lol

 

You can't. The CV broke off inside a splined cup and welding something to it is the only way to get it out.

 

What kind of welder did you use?

 

Would a magnet be enough?

 

In my case, no, the splines were twisted up pretty good.

 

Miller magic 190

Set it for 1/4 thick and did a blind weld on that chrome rod and had to hammer the shaft out.

 

i have to use a pry bar and my body weight just to pop them out normally. i doubt that would fly. And as mentioned by wulf i think they also might be twisted up pretty good as well.

 

Ok. yeah its pretty far in there. But yours looked like it was as well.
A Slide hammer yeah!?

 

Last night I was thinking I aught to or make plans to leave it with my buddy and have him do the work because I am shit at getting this garage reno shit done to even work on the tacoma shit

 

Nah there was a pretty big round cylinder attached to the rod and I used a 3lb sledge on that hammering outwards. Just took a tap or two

No idea what the rod was, a contractor doing work on my block threw it in my yard
