Re: Broken keeper pin in differential

They can be very difficult to remove. Most of the time the head breaks off of the bolt, leaving a few threads on the shank that is left in the hole. It helps that the bolt is not broken by "bound" threads, so that it may not be so hard to turn. Sometimes a small chisel can be used to turn what's left of the bolt. You can even try to drive it out from the opposite end with a pin-punch.

The great thing about being a pessimist is that you are either pleasantly surprised or right.
