Okay the screw broke off that holds the cross pin from moving so what do i do?

 

what?

 

get it out would be the logical thing to do. try welding a nut on it, if that doesn't work 90* drill, the threads are at the top of the bolt so it won't take much to get it out.

 

the end of the screw broke off so i was wondering if i could drill through it.

 

i think he means in his rear end

 

go to kragen or another parts store and get an easy out set, drill through the screw/bolt and use the easy out bit to back it out. Worked when i broke a fuel filter thread on my friend's carb.

 

You won't be able to reuse the carrier, but an easy way around this problem is to take a heavy duty cut off wheel to both sides of the crosspin right where the pin goes through. Once you cut through it it will drop out.

 

HOLD ON!!! There is a tool for this, I have one. Actually it is a kit, it comes with a very long flexible drill bit, a locating threaded insert to align the long drill bit, an easy out, and instructions. I have used it and it works great. I will check tomorrow at work who makes it and a art number for you.

 

When mine broke I used a very tiny screwdriver and a steady hand.

 

When you don't need to use the carrier again, special tools or an exercise in zen patience aren't really needed. 5 minutes of cutting might actually even be a little more fun when it comes down to it. That's all i was saying.

 

I was under the impression that the carrier was being reused.

 

I cheated. He has another post asking which spline axles he has because he's buying a posi carrier to go in.

 

this happened to me when i was taking apart a 3.23 open rear so i just took a heavy hammer and a big punch and set it through destroying the carrior

 

I had problems with mine today when putting in the new locker. Rounded the head off then cut a slot for a screwdriver. Broke the screwdriver, started on it with a cold chisel to try and back it out, tried some vice grips a couple times. After an hour of pounding on it, my dad comes along and I tell him my troubles plus I had to go meet someone really quick. I take off and come back later, he got it out with a new pair of vice grips with no effort LOL After my hour of suffering, he does 10 seconds of work hehehe.
