Hi everyone. Long time no see. As luck would have it I'm the not so proud owner of a 1989 ford bronco ll eddie bauier edition. It Has more new and rebuilt parts on it then the originals. I noticed one day that the drivers side rear axle seal was leaking oil. So I drained the diff and pulled the cover pan. Went to remove the pinion shaft bolt that threads into the carrier to find out that the bolt is partly broke off in the carrier. So I have yet to do the axle seal because I can't get the axle out. I've never seen this happen in all my years working on these vehicles . Wondering if it's easier to break the c clips and pull the carrier and put in the one out of an old ranger axle I have. Or just swap the whole ranger axle in ? From my decodeing. both axles are 7.5 inch and 3.73 gear ratio Thanks
