Well I broke a front axle over the weekend.. More specifically the outer CV joint. Ok, simple fix. I call Super ATV today and order a new axle. It’s on the way. So I go up to dads shop where the Grizzly is at to go ahead and get it ready.
Start tearing into the front to get the axle out. I start tugging on the axle… It wouldn’t come out. So I re-position myself to tug harder. A few tugs later… Out pops the shaft from the upper CV joint! Thus, it is now stuck in the diff. I pry the boot off, and grab some channel locks and hook on the CV and keep tugging to no avail.

Well that was the bad part… Now the worse.
I decided to tear apart the other side to get that axle out to see if I could stick something through the diff to tap the broken CV out. I got to tug out that axle…. SAME THING!!! the axle shaft pulled out of the diff!! Now the only thing holding it together is the boot….
HELP!!! What do I do now???!!
