Large hole off road!

Heya there all,
Today I was doing some relatively light greenlaning in my 2005 jimny (with no mods other than a snorkel and some strobe lights). I was going around 15 mph and i hit a large hole covered by a puddle. It was totally my own fault. My only issue is, the ABS light has come on and after some hard stops i'm pretty sure the ABS has packed up. On top of that the passenger side hub appears to be grinding, but only when its in 4wd.
Does anyone know of anything i can try at home to fix the 4wd grinding? Do y'all more experienced Jimny owners have any ideas of what the problem is? (other than i broke it
)

I have a front axle case bare if you need one.
Sounds like you gave it a good whack. Did the wheel and tyre survive?

Unfortunately the one i've got off ebay is in somewhat of a bad shape, quite rusty, notably the vacuum cables have been cut and are so rusty they fall off at the touch. Me and my mechanic are going to replace them with our own.
Another problem is the oil/grease on the kingpin (i think thats the name, ball joint that connects to the wheel) has clotted up and we had to lightly tap it off with a hammer! I should have it sorted soon so i can get on the trails again, but for now i'm limited to the tarmac
