Subject:Re: snapped off cv/axle bolts in rear axle hub shaft

Is the broken bolt tight in it's threads? If not, try turning it out with a
pencil eraser or a straight-bladed screwdriver. If it IS tight, then I would
remove the half-shaft (probably out already?) then remove the large outer
axle nut, and push the stub-axle through and out of the bearing. Then you
can put it in a vise and turn the bolt out with a centerpunch or other tool.
