Bad luck. Ive never been able to fish the broken piece out of the diff without taking the diff out. Its not much of a job anyway and you need to make sure there are no bits of broken halfshaft floating around. Take the diff out and clean everything up.

As Staffs says - Diff out -it will need a good clean out anyway.

It does happen to Minors. Broken halfshafts are far from unusual but are one of the easiest jobs to do.
