Broken half-shaft

[streepey <streepey@jps.net>]

Another tool for extracting a broken half-shaft when the break is in the
differential is as follows:

Get a 3 foot 1/4 inch dia steel rod.  Grind about 10 inches of it down to a
1/8 inch square rod.  Make a small bend an inch from the end.  Pull the
half shaft from the other side and insert the tool.  Give it a whack with a
hammer and the broken 2 inch piece will come out like a bullet.

I know it works 'cause I've done it.  I carry a spare half shaft with a
bearing pressd on in my spares kit.
