I can try to force it out with some hammer, but was just wondering if there was any thing else keeping it in place

It can be the metal at the inner end of the shaft has turned [burred] over as a result of it being driven while still having the broken shaft in place. It may hammer out but removing the hub and the stub axle may well be the best answer.

If you remove the cross pin and then it may be possible to smack out the gears [ could be torched out ] Bevel/planetary gear set available.

I'd works that you could damage the stub axle, which is what it's catching on.
You can remove the stub axle and avoid damaging it.

Wrong that’s a Salisbury axle which is correct for the 109

Oh, no, that's a Salisbury. Your replacement diff won't do. Salisbury diffs are tough, and tricky to work on. 24 splines on both ends of the shaft.

Oh no, so the extra diff is useless :/
And the Salisbury are hard to work on, so i better forget removing the welded parts, right?
Argh. Driving with a welded diff was not my intention

I disagree. You are having fun and learning great new things. A Toyota Yaris hybrid isn't nearly as much fun.

If you can find a replacement axle you'll be fine. Parts for Salisbury axles are available. And there are great tutorials on YouTube. Britannia restorations, Mike, Covers a full rebuild.

Good news, your rover diff will be a spare for the front axle.

With a new half shaft i get moving again, but remain stuck on a welded diff.
Anyway, I could later on try to find a good priced Salisbury diff localy and change it.
First things first: my priority Will BE to learn howto remove the stub axle so i can remove the broken half shaft and source a replacement, ar least now i know it has 24 tooth on each SIDE

That big hub nut is cheap and can be unscrewed by tapping round the edge with a screwdriver or chisel if you don’t have the box spanner

When you get the broken shaft out just do not bother with a replacement until you find another axle or decide to fix the diff you have. At least it will not scrub on the corners, after all that is how it has been working for some time.
I would remove the Salisbury diff rear plate and have a look in there and see what is going on.
