88 GXL LSD - half-shaft popped out the left side... confused
so i decided to do a burnout the yesterday, and sure enough - *POP* - F&#* my life...
left it there for the night and towed it home in the morning..
note this picture below (thanks to NJGreenBud for the photo i stole from his thread hahah) this "halfshaft(correct?)" popped right out on my left side - still bolted to the shaft and intact.
i immediately figured that the LSD was broken and I would need a replacement,
until i read a couple minutes ago that these things are removed with a prybar?!?
i worked on getting the LSD out for awhile today and got stuck when it came to the mount up in the front. i came back to the house and read about dropping the subframe - at which point i quit for the day.
im just wondering if my LSD is salvage-able or destroyed - ?
if it is destroyed - what can i replace it with ? only another 88 GXL LSD ? or will a TII LSD fit ?

okay, sounds simple enough...
but does it have to align with a gear or anything?
i still think (although its gonna suck to have to do) that i should pull the LSD from the car to do this, to make sure everything is okay.

went to press the half-shaft hub back in today...
turns out it snapped off inside of the LSD, not popped out of it...
hazard is hookin me up with a used one from his parts car though, so i should have it taken car of soon...
