taking the axles out

number1gt · January 25th, 2011, 05:28 PM

Hey do you remove the c-clips that hold the axles in, I already removed the pin un the dif. Its giving me some problems, any input would be very helpful

zinc-vert02 · January 25th, 2011, 05:29 PM

remove abs sensore that is buy the breaks, then the axles will slide far enough in
. use magnet to get the c clip out and bada bing the axle will slide out
( this is once you remove the center pin)

number1gt · January 25th, 2011, 05:32 PM

Damn I never thought of doing that, thanks man! Reps to you

zinc-vert02 · January 25th, 2011, 05:39 PM

np thanks

i ran into the same problem you did

Willy Mo · January 25th, 2011, 05:42 PM

yeha like zinc said, the abs sensor has to be removed to push the axles in enough to remove the c-clips. Just be careful when removing the axles and reinstalling them. You can ruin the axle seals pretty easy. Just be gentle.

number1gt · January 25th, 2011, 05:54 PM

The seals are the reason im removing them lol......what type of socket do you use for the abs sensor?

zinc-vert02 · January 25th, 2011, 05:55 PM

i think its a 8mm, and i used a wrench

be careful mpot to snap the bolt becasue it is very small

number1gt · January 25th, 2011, 05:58 PM

I think its smaller but the bolt has a different head, I haven't seen it before

F8L GT · January 25th, 2011, 06:08 PM

i went through and fixed all your miss spelled AXLES

sorry it was bugging me. Its not a 8 mm socket. It is a special socket that almost looks like a female torx bit

number1gt · January 25th, 2011, 09:18 PM

I am working on it now, the flange to the pinion gear is being a bitch but im not doing bad for jack stands and now air tools

F8L GT · January 25th, 2011, 09:19 PM

number1gt · January 25th, 2011, 09:35 PM

Yeah its not as difficult as everyone says its just a pain being on the floor in ohio weather. I can't wait until spring to drive her

F8L GT · January 26th, 2011, 12:02 AM

Willy Mo · January 26th, 2011, 11:54 AM
