you and everyone else. lol to think that cheesy snap ring keeping the axle from sliding out. lmao
.
I see you checked the dana axle and now see our lives are depending on a wire clip holding the axle in place.
Missed the film at 11.
Yes you have to take the retainer plate loose to get the axle out. That was not my point. The clip keeps the axle from sliding out is my point.
Me Too!!!!
No, the snap ring keeps the axle, and ALL from sliding out. lol
.
Explain ALL please.
If rhe clip is missing or fails the axle along with the bearing assemble can slide out.
If you remove the 5 nuts you pull the axle assemble out but the backing plates do not come off because the brake lines are still attached to them.
The axle, and everything attached to it. If the bearing is the same diameter or smaller then the hole in the retainer, it's all comin out if that snap ring fails.

The wiring was never good in the first place LOL I've already changed that. The master cylinders are only 20 bucks get a grip LOL someone bypass the neutral safety switch. Get that fixed and it won't start in gear.

Cool, and when I change the ring and pinion in mine I'm I'm going to share that as well. I've rebuild my transmission, and every other thing on the car and still have not set the Lash in my own rear end. That little piece of knowledge is going to be learned.

Hate to bring back an old thread, but what is the order of assembly? I've got the green bearings with the snap ring and to my understanding the backing plate goes on the housing, then you can slide on the axle with the bearings. My snap ring is stopping at the backing plate.. is it suppose to pass the backing plate?

I'm having trouble finding the info on this but I bought dr diff axles with green bearings with large snap ring, my question is.. is that thin little retainer ring the only thing that holds the entire axle and wheel assembly from pulling out of the housing? Also, after sliding the axle in and bolting up the retainer plate, are you just supposed to tighten the plate and crush the ring between the back plate and retainer plate? Something doesn't seem right
