Posted by jeffdeq You have to get the hub holding the disk rotor off in order to take the bearing retainer clip out. The stub end of the broken shaft is held in the axle tube by the hub.

It is possible but I think unlikely that the shaft broke and your bearings are still good. Even with bad bearings my hubs came right out. The pictures I posted shows where the hub is off and the end of the broken stub of the axle is still in the axle tube. The bearings were very difficult to push out. I think your bearings may have seized on your hubs from overheating. However I can't tell because I am not there. Aaron might have some opinions about this. Email or call him. If you email me your phone number I will call you.
I just can't diagnose very well with short emails and limited details.
When I had to hammer something to drive it off with hammer blows I use a high density rubber hammer that has lead shot inside the head. It works better than a brass hammer.
