Where did it break? If in the splines, you are going to have to open it up and clean it out as all the crumblies from the break are going to contaminate the workings. If not, you may be able to push it out a bit, but you are probably looking at some level of teardown. Looking at the "Dana 60 rebuild" etc in 'Articles/Specs' up top, I don't see a pic showing if you can even see or access the axles with a locker with just the cover off.

Got a big magnet? One of those reach and grab things?

pull the crosspin out, pull the other axle, get a long piece of roundbar or a bunch of ratchet extensions & drive it out from the other side.
