Ok guys I noticed the other day that I had about an inch of play in my driveshaft. Decided I needed to replace both rear pinion bearings and races. I started to take apart the diff when I noticed that the bearing were so bad that it caused the lock pin bolt to break in half. Now I can't get the lock pin out. If I cant get the lock pin out looks like a new rear end for me. What are some suggestions ya'll have? never had to replace a rear end. Not even sure where to start looking for one or if there are any upgrades yall recommend.
I think when the bolt that holds it broke that it left some in there and there is not enought room to get a extractor down that hole to get the piece out.
If I do have to replace the rear end do any of yall have a recommendation for maybe new gearing or a more heavy duty rear end
