I think lm going to drop the differential and replace the bushings and upgrade the front bolt.

Sorry to hear...this is my thought...if you want to try it....im goingnto take a thin copper sleave to protect the threads...then im going to weld a small nut on the back of the broken bolt.....then im going to try and run the bolt forward toward the car. Hopefully this will work...but it will be about 3 weeks before my buddy can help me.
They only drill I could see fitting in that area would be a pneumatic 90 degree drill with a thin chuck. And even then I wouldnt be able to drill straight in for an extractor. If anyone else is dealing or has dealt with a broken bolt...what method worked?
Id rather eat bugs than drop thus differential.
