Default Broken diff pin

I'm in need of some advice. I have a 96 F-150 with the 3.55 LSD and was going to change my outer axle seals and broke the bolt that goes into the diff pin. It's broken about 5-6 threads in. Any ideas as how to get the rest out?

alot of times you can spin them out with just a magnet or a pick other times you cant get it to move at all,you probly dont have enough room to get a left handed drill bit in there do ya?I have also smashed the remainder of the bolt with a punch til there was nothing left and got all the little peices out with a magnet or just buy a new rearend from a junk yard

Use an easy out.
If you do a lot of your own work, you may as well buy a nice kit.

There's a kit on one of these bronco sites you can use to get it out. Google it and you should be able to find one.
