need help: ae86 diff - halfshaft problem

I did not do it on purpose. I brought it to a shop for rebuilding, but it came out this way. I had it reassembled again, but could not change the 100% lock up. Since it is not my daily driver i decided to leave it this way - which is excellent for drifting

Now, i guess this problem is catching up...

I took out the diff today. What i could notice is that the right spider wheel has been broken:


PS: sorry for the Bulgarian language, it points where the cut has emerged.

I have some replacement diff parts, but do not have a spare right spider wheel. This is a pic of the left one:





Judging by the left one, here is where I suppose the broken spot to be:



Now the solution of my prob comes to replacing this right spider wheel. I openned the ae86 parts catalog and noticed that the left and right spider wheels have the same part number - bingo! - they are the same!



Then i did a little experiment with my extra diff - i put the left spider wheel at the place of the right one and noticed 1-2mm space between the wheel and the outer side of the diff. Now I have to figure out where this problem comes from.

I will disassemble carefully my diff with the broken spider wheel and will examine how parts fit between each other. Hopefully will have some answears soon.

PS: even fixind the spider wheel won't change the fact that i'm only guessing why it broke down. Did it break only because of the 100% lock? Hm...
