Another trail fix...
Drain the oil into a 1 gallon plastic ziplock baggie. Set it on some ice to keep the hot oil from melting the plastic.
Use a screwdriver or small pry-bar to force the broken piece into the tube and retrieve with a magnet taped to a stick.
Install spare shaft. Put the baggie of oil in the diff and put the cover back on. The bag will get shredded and viola'!!
