GM gov lock?

I have the centerpin out, but my question , is how to get the clips off the axles to remove them? Is there another pc in the center, that needs to come out, before the clips will drop? crazyL

By center pin I assume you mean the pin that the spider gears are on. Now just push the axles in and the c clips will fall out then pull the axle shafts out.

To reinstall them use a magnet and pull the axle shaft outward to set them.

Too bad she is still a gov bomb....the back lash checks @ .007 on the tight spot, & .009 on the loose spot(good to go!). Its a daily driver, that I dont beat on.....& the diff came out of a parts truck , that dont owe me chit A set of axle bearings & seals, fresh lube, & a couple dust plates.....probably put a little "kick" on my old hauler.....step on the gear, & drive a little slower crazyL
