Cracked front differential/carrier
Yes I did a search, but if you find one call me all the names you like just share it. 06 325xi had a feeling like a bearing was going bad but ended up being my front carrier. The casing cracked just at the bottom. Ok real question in replacing I was looking at things and was thinking I could leave axle in hub and just pull it from carrier which it is loose anyway coming out about a 1/2" from carrier. Let me know your thoughts if any of you has had to do this. t/u

Shaft to rear
What is the best way to lock up the shaft to the rear so I can loosen 4 torx bolts connecting Carrier to shaft? I guess I can try putting it in gear if I don't get any other suggestions.

Help
Does anyone know if I have to drop sub frame to get front diff out or maybe remove the rear shaft to get more room to maneuver it? A bearing ring dropped out of it along with the plate next to transmission. Also once I get it out I have to try to get the piece that goes into tranny where the shaft comes in since it broke off there also. Yes I am having a lot of fun but moving along.

Deeper
Noticed some oil had to tear it back down and found a 6" hairline crack in my oil pan where the differential connects to it. Just ordered pan gasket and new bolts. Oil change since it had to be drained;

The fact that you have been talking to yourself for the past two weeks is kinda weird. I can't help with your issue, but to break up the solo conversation...
