pull opposite axle. find a stout driftpin and tap the broken stub out from the other side (post #2).
pull the back cover and clean/inspect it. use a magnet. chances are you will find little debris.

tom - i broke it dumping the clutch at 5500 rpms. i wanted to thank everyone for their advise i got the broken cv joint out but now new axle won't go in. i've broke axle's before and replaced them with no problem did the driver side last week but the passanger side wont go all the way in. i thought it might be the c-clip so i removed it to see if the axle would go in and still nothing. it doesn't look like anything is still in the diff. i have some pics, any ideas? thanks

FWIW, I helped a friend replace the clutch on his daughter's Probe (FWD) and we ended up using a hammer on a block of wood at the wheel end of the shaft to get it to seat into the transmission.
