C CLIP ELIMINATORS

number1gt · February 2nd, 2012, 09:29 PM

How do c clip eliminators work? Do the bolt to the axles? Lol how do the hold them in?

02gt2v · February 2nd, 2012, 09:51 PM

They are pressed onto the axle shafts and then bolted to the end of the axle tubes where the backing plates bolt up....I haven't done any on a new edge but the ones I've done (ford and chevy) u have to cut a certain amount off the ends of the axle tubes. The c clip eliminator is your new axle bearing/seal

You have to cut some off? How much are we talking about? I just oredered some so it would have a bunch, you'll get rep'd

02gt2v · February 2nd, 2012, 10:27 PM

Its not that much....maybe about 3/8 of an inch...but once u do it u can't go back...the reason u cut some off is to clear the c clip eliminator so it can sit flush

number1gt · February 2nd, 2012, 10:31 PM

Im not understanding why it wouldn't sit flush in the first place

number1gt · February 2nd, 2012, 11:40 PM

Well I did some research... so how do I go about cutting the tubes to get it to fit?

CobraStang161 · February 3rd, 2012, 12:51 AM

you have to have someone put it on a jig and cut the ends off, to make sure it sits even. You also have to take the plate that holds the caliper to the axle end to a machinist who will have to shave it flat by 1/8". Its a lot of work and your ABS will have to be deleted since you are cutting the ABS ring off the rear end.

The c clip eliminators are thick that's why they wont fit over the ends...but honestly what is your reasoning for buying them....at your power level I don't think its necessary unless u are dead hooking at the track and dumping the crap out of it....if anything just upgrade to 31 spline axles and posi unit

y2k02 · February 3rd, 2012, 08:33 PM

No cutting with this setup.

I think if you want to run in the 10s you need the c-clip eliminators, no?

I'd like to get rid of the ABS and the traction control all together.

number1gt · February 3rd, 2012, 09:15 PM

I got rid of my abs a long time ago so I wouldn't need the abs ring anyways, so far I think I can make my brakes work, I forgot my axle seal/bearing puller at work so ill hold off on the rest until tomorrow

I wish I would have read that before I did some cutting!!!!!

number1gt · February 3rd, 2012, 09:40 PM

Btw...what's a good way of getting the abs ring off the axles?

y2k02 · February 3rd, 2012, 10:13 PM

I only had my bracket machined....

number1gt · February 3rd, 2012, 10:24 PM

Do you have the ones in the link you posted?

y2k02 · February 3rd, 2012, 10:32 PM

No, the ones I have needed the brackets machined. I had it done like 4 years ago.

number1gt · February 3rd, 2012, 10:37 PM

I was going to make my own, I just need to get my bearing puller from work and call it a day

p4ndiamond · February 4th, 2012, 12:36 AM

I like them allot. but i see once in awhile i get leaks on the ends of the tubes. Nothing too bad tho.
