Steveshotgun Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 Needed to remove front half shaft, got it off OK, workshop manual says to replace in reverse order, to get off I used a slide hammer. At the diff end of the shaft there is a short length of spline, then as the manual calls it a circlip, its a split ring that needs to compress, then there's the longer length of spline. I am happy I have end section to slide onto the spline OK as when I turn it I can hear the gears turning, the question is how to I get it to compress the ring and then slide in the full length. If I follow the manuals do it in reverse I wallop it with a hammer, but, I don't want to damage the diff, any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevor Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Usually when you remove the circlip (work it off by using a small flat blade screwdriver) and usually the shaft will come off with a soft faced hammer (copperhide or plastic) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
