Boat owner begins full front axle rebuild after finding broken bolt

A vehicle owner has started a full front axle rebuild after parts deliveries arrived. The teardown went smoothly until a broken bolt was discovered, apparently held in place with RTV sealant rather than properly fastened, drawing criticism toward the manufacturer, Litehnija. The differential looked fine but needed cleaning out before the rebuild can continue.
Why now: The discovery of a badly repaired broken bolt is a frustrating maintenance setback worth sharing with fellow DIY mechanics.
