The two spider gears that are in the carrier have a bevel in the back. And the bottom gear also sits in the case. Pull the bolt out that holds the pin in and see if they are seized to the carrier.
Broken front differential.

Alright, I'll be out of the country for couple weeks but when I'm back those gears will be my focus point. Thanks a lot!

That's what I'm thinking but if it is seized, that is not good. It would probably mean something is wrong in the carrier. I don't see any bearings that would be seized. There is a spring and washer on the passenger side of the carrier though that might be broken and seized.

When are you back?
Hi all, finally back from vacation. Following is a picture of the little pin locking the big pin holding the spider gears. That little piece fell off when tearing apart. I'm thinking it broke off and now the two spider gears wont move at all from that position (second pic).

Did you drill the rest of the bolt pin out? Then tap the shaft out. Are the spider gears stuck to the case?

It sucks. These front diffs are weak. Mine broke way easier then I thought it should have.
Don't tell YXZ racers that. They're retrofitting RMAX front diffs to their modified YXZs. Also don't tell Kyle Anderson who won his class at King of Hammers on a stock front diff.....and stock axles I may add.

It is supposed to just slide out... I am assuming its hard to get out because of the way you cut it. And sorry massive, you don't have to agree. We will see long term how many there are. Just telling you the facts from my experience.

Kaleb, this is what the back of the spider gear looks like. I am assuming somehow it seized to the case or that pin was spinning around. Will have to see once you get it out. -Tim
