Since you weren't racing it, I'd bet that the passenger side broke at
the diff. Jack that side up enough that the gear oil doesn't run out
when you pull the axle. Undo the wheel and remove. Take the set
screw(s) out of the drum and remove it. POZIdrive!!! Check for a set
screw on the axle flange, remove if present... Pull the axle out and
inspect for damage. If the spline is still in the gear housing, take
the other axle out and push it out with a drift. The magnet thing if
good too!
