Yes, take the wheel and drum off, then you can push the axle in so the c-clip can be removed.....

took the car to sunshine did a little burn out just wanted to get the feel of the car first time to the track with this car soo i was going to do a test run not full throatle ...pull up the line , rev up to like 3500rpm and launched spun , spun little in second shifted early like 5500 rpm i was just getting the feel of the track and the car still ran a 8.4 with a 2.0 60ft .......after that i line up for a full out pass did a nice burnout pull up to the light rev up like 5000rpm and SNAP something broke ...i thought it was my posi-trac but yesterday i took it apart and it was a left axle

you can leave the rim and drum on, it just makes it a huge fucking bear to slide the axle out.

You need to take the wheel off cause it is hard to push the axle in far enough with the drum still on it.
