[Spridgets] strange problem expert needed

[Jerry Goodman]

I have a broken halfshaft on the bugeye.  The problem is I cannot pull it
out....It comes out about 3/8 inch and binds up.  I have tryed prying
it..hammering it ...took out other halfshaft...slid right out.  Unbolted
differential...but cannot remove because halfshaft stilll engaged.  If I turn
halfshaft differential turns ....but in some positions it does not spin diffy
so I feel certain it is a half shaft problem.  Open to any ideas
Thank you in advance
Jerry
