Another option.... Go ahead and screw a stud in as far as you can, and weld it in. It sucks when cast breaks. I know you don't like the idea of taking the rear end out and disassembling it, but i think I would for fear of the gasket at the axle getting too hot or the carrier bearing. Your choice. It could probably be done as it sits. But I really don't think it a good ideal. Besides, you have all that oil to contend with, and even with the coating in the housing, the cast will have soaked it up, which makes it VERY hard to weld. Usually, in situations like that we have to disassemble, clean, clean, clean,.... heat and cool, heat and cool to "boil" the oil out of the area and weld it... Good news is, its really good cast which means it contains a lot of iron, which will make it easier to weld. Good luck!
