the way i broke the seal is to actually force it in a twisting motion. like a soda bottle. i was afraid of hitting the casing too hard and breaking something, but the cast iron section it pretty stout. i used a 2x4 against the webbing and wacked it in the direction the pinion would go.

You don't have to open the case if you can fish out the broken part of the stub shaft. Pry the stub shaft away from the housing. If the broken piece won't slide out you can try welding a thin rod to it or drill and tap it then insert an bolt and pull it out.
