: Okay, what keeps the c-clips in place? Drew Persson 02-10-2002, 10:00 PM Call me an idiot, but what keeps the axle c-clips in place? Is there a recess in the side gears that holds 'em in there once that sleeve around the crosspin spreads the axles apart? Inquiring minds want to know...

Huh?!? :D Drew Persson 02-10-2002, 10:10 PM Originally posted by ToyTech They are recessed into the side gears... That makes sense, that would expain why you have to push the axleshafts in a little (once the crosspin is removed) to get the c-clips out. They'd fall out going down the road otherwise. Which would be quite exciting, come to think of it. ToyTech 02-10-2002, 11:42 PM Originally posted by Drew Persson Huh?!? :D Sometimes the oil causes them stick to the side gears...

That's why center pin spacer must be removed and axel pushed in to remove c-clip. Once the axel is pushed in they just fall out. | |
