removing axle shafts (1 Viewer)

[notaf-ingjeep]

I cant figure out how to get to remove the c locks to remove my axle shafts from a detroit locked rear axle.

See link below for diagram: There should be a bolt (see #12 in diagram) on the side of the carrier (#11) holding the center pin (#13) & retainer (#14) in place... when you remove #12 you can slide #13 out the bottom (some diffs have grinding done on the gears so you need to look for where it can come out). Once you have done this you can remove #14 (which holds the axle shafts from going IN too much - which holds the "C-clips" in place). When #14 is removed you can go to each side of the axle - at the wheels - and push the axle toward the diff. This alows the c-clip to be removed.
Hope that helps...
