I'm referring to the pin the the spider gears turn on inside the diff. The bolt that secures it in place is broken. Just the threaded part came out leaving the pin if you know what I mean.

You need to turn the posi unit to allow the spider gears to move off their perches to be removed through the opening. Be sure to keep outward pressure on both side gears while you turn them or the gears will lock up. It is indeed a very tight envelope to work in.

I have done as you suggest and removed the small spiders but I cannot get the bigger spiders with the clutch pack on to come out. The gear binds on the crown and carrier when you try to remove it.

Those ride on roller bearings and should slide easily inward as there should be nothing in the way. There is a pair of “keepers” on each side that hold the stationary clutch plates and the ends are visible through a pair of quarter sized holes in the casting. You can try a little “persuasion” by tapping on those keepers to see if you can get the assembly to move.
