i broke my left axle at sunshine this wensday soo i took my cover off and i need the pull the other axle out and i cant take these S shape clip to take the C clips out ....any tricks how do u take these out???

 

I'll let an expert answer this....cuz you wouldn't like my answer. LOL But a crow bar does wonders.

 

???? that doesnt sound too safe

 

Brute force and awkwardness.

 

Well you should be able to get the c clips off with that spring still installed. Remove the center pin and push the axle in....the clip should just fall off if not get a pair of needle nose and grab it. I have had many people bring me the diff to reinstall that s spring cause they removed it thinkin they needed to. Its a bitch to put back in.

But if you really want to get it out....get a pry bar and just pop it out.

 

I Remove The 8mm Bolt And The Big Push Pin Out ...but I Cant Even See The C Clips ...this Shit Pissing Me Off...lol...i Wanna Fix It Asap So The Car Can Be Ready For This Weekend At Bradenton

 

^^^^ Push the axle in you should see it.

Best way to describe it....push the axles towards the center of the diff.....the on that broke you might have to get a long tube and a hammer to push that one it.

 

Like I said, you wouldn't like my way of doing it. I've changed the gears out before on an 8.8, but....I had help from a qualified mechanic....so I didn't really pay close attention since I decided I didn't like doing that because it stinks so bad.

 

yea push the axles in, half the time they fall out on their own. If they dont, just use a magnet extension and they will comeoff. You dont wanna fuck with that s spring!

 

thinking about it i havent even took the right wheel off with the drum maybe thats why the axle wount push in .......the broken left axle came right out with drum and rim and everything so i thought the right side would come out the same??? soo i have to unbolt the rim and take the drum out ..i am i correct now???
