broke this one when trying to loosen axle shaft nut :(

 old bearings was pretty loose and front diff seems it had damage before
 pinion and damaged inner oil slinger
 removed old pinion inner bearing
 everything removed
 new bearing with pinion shims
 repaired washer and pinion shims on inner pinion bearing race
