Brake shoes help (8 3/4 BBP)

Ignorant question: are there c-clips in an 8.75 rear Suregrip? On my 7.25 open, the axles just slid out. These are being held in place by something I can't see. Never had or worked on an 8.75 rear before..

Thanks!

Nope, no c-clips. Once you remove the retainer plates the axles are only held in by the bearings. It should be a tight slip fit. They won't fall out, but you don't usually need a puller of any kind. Couple taps with a dead blow hammer or rubber mallet on the back of the axle flange should take care of it.
