So as some of you might know ive had the hardest time removing an axle from my trans. Well today with the help of jose, christ and an air hammer/chisel i finally got it out. On the axle some of the splines looked kind of beat up and half of the clip was gone! |

Rebuild with an lsd, that's what I would do |

take the clip of the new axle and run it without the clip. You'll have the entire suspension holding the axle in there, its not gunna go anywhere. The damage to that clip was most likely caused by it being damaged or opened up to much. When you put it into the trans it opend up and next time you go to take it out, it catches and jams. |

Don't really wheel hop since i don't launch her much. Mostly just spin. |

Got a new axle seal, and axle. Time to put everything together and hopefully it doesn't leak without the clip. |

its seals up against the smooth part of the axle. That clip gets submerged in fluid in side the diff. |

i don't know about that one. their is play on the yokes, so i'm guessing running it with out the clip, will run the chance of the axel comming off. i'll make sure not to drive anywhere near you. |

Yeah there was enough slack in the joint as to have it move enough to cause a leak. Ended up replacing the clip and everything looks good so far. |
