Advice needed - drive shaft issue
G'day Folks
Absolute newbie but thought this forum might at least set me in the right direction on a problem I've encountered.
As my newbie introduction in the general thread indicated I am running Jag suspension throughout an AC Cobra replica I am rebuilding.
This includes a Mark 10 LSD diff I am lead to believe, as I had this diff checked out and repaired by a fellow that was based Burwood way I think about four years ago.
Anyway the real drama is that I was tightening non-slip bolts onto the inner drive flanges and managed to shear one of the drive flange bolts.
Am I going to have to pull the flange out of the diff to be able to replace the bolt?
Or is there some other sort of trick I can employ?
I hope someone can help as it has been a double black day in the garage today.
Broken studs and tigers down by only 5 points - DoH.
Cheers
Steve

I did actually manage to remove the calliper and disc to now access the stub flange directly as shown below.

Advice from a jag repairer was to actually remove the stub axle along with its housing rather than undoing the large facing nut.
Undid all the bolts behind the stub axle flange but couldn't really budge the whole part. I am aware that there are sealing rubber O rings inside that are probably causing the whole assembly to stick.
What is needed to release the stub assembly out of the diff?
The photo below is taken from underneath and looking up at the stub axle and the flange behind.
Any and all suggests as to how I release the assembly would be appreciated.
Cheers
