Default Sheared off axle from hub HELP

axle sheared off on sunday doing a second gear pull. after the pull it started clicking, and I heard a fiction rotational noise. drove around for 5 mins in a parking lot to see what it was than I went into reverse and it was over. here are some pics Trying to figure out where to start. any help would be very appreciated









After taking the wheel off I noticed uneven pad ware

Should be easy, take of the large 36mm nut, hammer that broken piece of sucker out and get new CV joint (or likely whole axle, BTW i think they are different lenght left to right).

Oh and clean/grease up your caliper sliding pins (and maybe the piston too) and get some new pads

That could have happened after the axle broke. The axle actually holds the roller bearings together.

DAYYUMMM, that sucks! Glad you're getting taken care of though. Luckily it looks like it's just a new axle and you'll be good to go. Hopefully when it gave out it didn't do anything to mess up your diff. Good luck!
