Been searching but I guess I’m the only idiot to do it!
Another lesson that I should have took my time…I don’t expect anything less than a difficult solution to the problem but… while rushing to install diff drop I torqued on the front diff support bolt too much. Snapped the bolt off.
Called a good machine shop and they said diff needs to be removed so they can extract cleanly. But they don’t have facilities to remove diff for the extraction. He said most mechanics will botch the extraction.
I don’t want to try myself. I’ve fckd up extracting smaller bolts. I guess I’ll tow it to a good shop that can remove diff and has confidence to extract. Seems like my only option. The machine shops I contacted seem to want the part to be on their table to do the extraction.
Don’t know if I’m asking for a solution from y’all. (UNLESS THERE ARE GOOD SUGGESTIONS!) I guess I’m just venting! I’ll get that bolt out somehow!
