i know the usuall boken u-joint replacement, but this time i snapped the shaft at the splines and i tried the magnet trick to no avail. i pulled the front diff cover only to see that i would need to pull my locker to get to the inside of the shaft splines..this is the drivers side shaft and it broke off just about 2 inches out from the splines....any tricks

i was thinking of removing the other shaft and try running a long metal dowel, but i think the "locker center pin" might prevent this...
it is the d-30 axle with tj shafts and a lockrite????

You'll have to pull the other shaft and dis-assemble the LockRight to push the broken shaft out.

i thought about that, you dont think i could just remove the center pin from the lockrite??also im going to try some jb weld on the end of a metal dowel and see if that will grab

think welding rod on the end of a pvc pipe all you have to do is zap it a lttle to get it to stick. you might have twisted the splines on the shaft also
