Differential cross pin bolt

[Strokermjcomanche]

So the bolt head broke on my Dana 44 for the cross pin . i'm changing axle seals I need to get it out, seeing what everyone else has done. I know it's a common problem but never encountered it personally. Some people say they hit the pen really hard and it will shear the bolt ,other people say buy a kit that has a special drillbit and bolts to remove it. Seeing whatever one else is done before hand. Thanks for your help

Drill it, easy out, i personal experience beat it with a punch and put roll pin back in.

Pull the axles out get the diff out and swap in a full locker.

Is it front or rear 44?

I wouldn't want that rollpin to come out,I know that CrossPin can do some serious damage.I know it wasn't the greatest set up but I'd rather  have a bolt that I can unbolt if need be.

Well clearly you have to much muscle 💪 easy out it if can otherwise drill and tapping be it.
