Rear axle shaft thread broken

[DRG-ler]

Hi guys, a quick question.



The thread of my left rear axle shaft is in very poor condition. It definitely needs to be fixed. Can I get the axle shaft pulled out WITHOUT disassembling the differential?

If so, I'd have material welded on, turned over on the lathe, and cut a new thread. If the shaft cannot be easily removed, I will probably cut the next smaller thread in the assembled state and use a smaller nut.


Friendly greetings from Germany
