I can't believe this worked, so I must share
Tearing apart open diff. axle, go to remove pin so C-clips can come out and find the head of the pin that holds spider pin in place sheared off right at end of threads. This is the second time that I have come across this with this axle. First time I just used a magnet, but not this time.
So there was still thread remaining on the pin, I tried catching an edge of the burr and try to spin it out but nope. Considered getting grinder out and cutting the carrier open(replacing with limited slip) but then realized that I had some industrial "super glue", cleaned out hole with brake clean, put glue on end of magnet and glued it to the broken pin inside carrier. To my amazement it worked.
I am interested in how others have done this.
