TRYING TO INSTALL NEW POWERTRAX IN REAR AND CAN'T GET SECOND C-CLIP IN. ANYONE ELSE HAVE ANY SIMILAR PROBLEM. IT LOOKS LIKE THE AXLE ISN'T IN FAR ENOUGH, BUT STOCK SIDE GEAR GOES BACK IN JUST FINE. <IMG SRC="smilies/glasses.gif" border="0">

Are you slipping the c-clip through the notch on the side of the locker?

YES, AXLE IS ONLY GOING HALF WAY THROUGH SLOT

Axle fully in on that side? Sometimes it can get stuck on the bearing.

YES EVEN PULLED DRUM TO CHECK . PULLED LOCKER OUT AND PUT SPIDERS BACK IN TO KEEP RUNNING FOR WEEKEND WHEELING . STOCK SIDE GEAR HAD NO PROBLEMS WITH AXLE ENGAGMENT.

Are you using the thrust washers that were on the stock side gears? I have installed two DIFFERENT No-Slips that are for fine spline LC axles. With one of them the directions called for the washers and the other one didn't. One way to make sure which one you have is to look on the back cover of the install instructions. In the top corner it will list the application for which the instructions are intended. It will say there if you use the washers or not.

no thrust washers, instructions say to pull them out.
