what made if fail is rather odd, and i dont under stand it totaly.
i know i found the vent tube completely plugged, mix that with the added stress of towing the high temps and a tale pipe leaking a good 20% around the axil that made the oil seals fail on the axils.
the oil just takes the path of least Resistance.
but how that made the axil shaft come out is very odd.
the only thing i can come up with is, the extra high temps let the locking nut get loose, thats the only way for it to come out is for the locking nut to come loose.
or just by random chance it just happened then.
