rear disc with arb locker
Hey guys, i was just starting my rear disc conversion when in the first step i ran into a problem. I don't know how to take my c clips off the axle for removal. I know how to do an open carrier, but not a arb locked one. Thanks.

ARB says to push the axle shaft in a bit and then you should see the C-Clip

pretty much the same concepts. the idea is to get to the c-clips
unscew the cross shaft retaining pin
remove the cross shaft
remove the spider block and thrust block
then you should have access to the c-clips.
(sorry if i forgot some steps)
heres a breakdown assuming you are using rd124

How old is the ARB carrier? I have a set of older ones and a set of newer ones and they vary... they both have a kinda hidden shaft/bolt that locks the cross shaft in place and it is inside/underneath one of the carrier housing bolts. Is this making any sense? On the newer it has its own bolt/hole. To get it (shaft/bolt) out you either need the ARB removal tool or a screw about 4" long and I think the thread is 11/32" now what you do in screw this screw into the carrier housing bolt hole in it will thread into the shaft/bolt, then spin the pinion shaft back and forth while you pull on the screw... should pull right out!
When I was doing mine I couldnt figure it out either, ARB's website wasnt very helpfull either? I searched and searched on here and finnally figured it out, kinda surprised there is nothing in FAQ
Anyway, hope this helps... I'll see if I got any pics

Like he said - you need that screw or the ARB tool. Both work - the screw just takes more luck  .

Found some, this pics are of the newer style and has a designated bolt/hole for the shaft/bolt. IIRC the older style the shaft/bolt is just under one of the carrier/housing bolts.
Hope this helps

correct, and the "tool" is a metric Allen wrench for very early models; they don't have threads in the retaining pin
however, with newer models, ARB told me you should be able to see the C-Clip

x3, when I did mine I cut them off and saved the hassle also. I did not think anyone would even want them.

where did you purchase that screw removal from? Lowes didn't have anything larger than a 10/32? Do i just stick it in the hole and spin or is there a trick to it.

10/32 isn't a screw size. 10-32 is (I'm assuming that's what he meant when he wrote 11/32 ? ). 10-32 is a screw of #10 diameter (0.190"), with 32 threads per inch. #10 screws also come in a coarse-thread variety: 10-24.
