Rear axle question : center pin stuck on the ring.

[Icetech]

if you aren't sure take a pic of the end of the axle and post it..

 

[halifaxhops]

any chance those axles have c-clip eliminators? not sure if it was checked..

I am not sure if they make them for that rear? But it is in France. Export thing?

 

[halifaxhops]

I am really intrieged to see what this ends up to be.

There are no commercial C-clip eliminator kits manufactured for the Chrysler/Mopar 8.25-inch rear axle. Because of the housing design, the only way to physically eliminate the C-clips is to cut off the factory axle tubes and weld on custom Ford 9-inch or Dana 44 style outer housing ends. [1, 2, 3]

well.... does he own torches? if it's liquid it will come apart...

You can see the end of the shaft and a c clip

Of you need another pic..

 

[Icetech]

i'm out.. i have no idea how that could have even been put together...

 

[halifaxhops]

No has the c clips. Sure is a weird one. How the heck they get the c clips on?

 

[halifaxhops]

Long shot here the flats on the cross pin did they modify it so the pin can be pushed in to a flat where the axel can be pushed in to get the clip out? Make sense?

 

[Xavi3r81]

You can see both shaft end nothing can move

 

[halifaxhops]

Might spin it if you can see it also?

 

[halifaxhops]

No push the cross pin in maybe to a flat so the axel can move inward? Hard to explain it,

 

[Xavi3r81]

Nothing flat on the top so it cant go throught the ring

 

[halifaxhops]

No on the side of the cross pin look at the pic it might help explain it.

 

[halifaxhops]

Push it out as far as you can see if there is a flat there on the cross pin the axel can go into?

 

[Xavi3r81]

Hum something here..

 

[Icetech]

turn the pin and look for a flat where the axles are which would allow a axle to push in to get the c-clip out. it's the only way i could see that working

 

[halifaxhops]

Thats a crazy ratio was it a race car at some time? Just curious.

 

[Icetech]

k.. so it looks like the top where the bolt holds the pin in is ground.. turn it so it lines up with the ring gear and push it up and i bet that lower flat while allow the c-clip to come out

Thats what I was trying to explain. How about the othe side of the pin?

Good catch Ice

 

[Xavi3r81]

You are GENIUS !!

 

[Xavi3r81]

I think i can push each shaft now and remove c clips

 

[halifaxhops]

Yes we ARE. Thats insane.

 

[Icetech]

Yes we ARE. Thats insane.

pretty awesome though.. look at how beefy that gear is.... once you find the key to it.. great setup
