It's pictures on the internet but I'd put it back together and send it. Weigh labor to swap the diff again if needed but still. On my old 6 speed car everybody and their brother told me I'd end up breaking a diff. I bought a spare and it stayed in my attic for 10 years never used. YMMV.

I didn’t have a good way to get at it. Maybe there’s a better way but this seems to be my go to next time.

I agree. Unlike fumanchu's where the spider gears were broke

I wasn't sure if there were springs or clutch plates in these, it is clutches. Jon sent me a pic of the clutches. Similar to a 8.8 ford

Was there any distortion in the piece left in the spider gear when it snapped, or was it a clean break and you were able to get it out of the spider gear without having to hammer on it?

Do these use one of those big pins like the 8.8?

I barley tapped it with a punch and hammer to get it out

Yeah, I remember it being kind of a weird "grip" on the axle when I swapped mine out in the old car. A pry bar popped it right out but that's leverage. I'd think a strong earth magnet would get it but maybe not.
