Sometimes you can do it using long sticks / magnets / all manner of other contraptions....      sometimes it's quicker just to drop the diff out ;-)

Thanks for that i was told that you can knock it through fron the other side ?

I tought this might damage the diff ?

I think the shaft that the planet gears run on will be in the way if you try and push it from the other side.

Personally, for the sake of a dozen nuts, I'd take the diff out, check for any swarf / fragments give it some new oil and be able to sleep at night ;-)

have you managed to get the bit out yet jay?
Sodbury sortout is coming.
Buy another axle, much easyer!!

You might get lucky, the last  one I snapped broke off at the outside on the drive flange plate, even took off the right one the first time, 2 for 2 on that one :wink:
