RCV Heavy Duty CV Axles

[TrialByFire]

Is this the passenger side cv you broke? Or is it the shaft that goes inside of the passenger side of the diff???

That is the shaft that goes from the diff to the passenger CV. I blew both up at the same time (sawing plus a little bouncing--but nothing violent!). We managed to extract the broken shaft pieces from inside the front axle with a good magnet, without disassembling the front diff (whew!).
