Sometimes those retainning clips hold that broken piece in so tight that even after drilling they still don't want to come out.

I'm curious as to why you feel there isn't any broken shaft in there Bruce.
I've never seen a CV break, either early IFS or late IFS, that didn't have some residual pieces from the break.
Not being a dick here, just wondering.

Usually they snap off fairly clean outside of the outer bearing, and the axle assy drops out. If by chance any debri does make it's way into the diff, the magnetic drain plug catches it, not enough to worry about tearing down to bother with.Originally Posted by AxleIke
If you drill the busted portion of the axle you actually create more debri that the break causes. There's a narrow spot between the bearing and outer seal that the metal shavings can drop between. I usually just smear some grease in there before driling then clean it out afterwards. Now if the broken axle is allowed to rub against the other half, you can wear off material, even then all I'd do is change the oil to clean it out.

Got it. Thanks.

The jackshaft is the intermediate shaft assembly between the diff and the cv axle.Originally Posted by 20005spd

Scroll down to SA-50 intermediate shaft No. 1, the spline end is identical to the inner CV's, this has to come out to get access.

just grab it shake it.. if it rattles around, its broken.
cv breakage usually means you have an accompanying noise though.
