On these GM 10 bolt C lock axle , is there movement slight movement in and out on the hub , I'm rebuilding a Camaro in the UK , most people over here no nothing about them so I'm stuck for info , the hub does not move left or right up or down but , you can feel slight movement on the hubs in and out , Question is that right for one of these Axles .

My '87 F-150 thanks you!

[@moparlover1968rr]

Have this Ford 8.8 axle in my TJ jeep and trying to turn my gears to get to the bolt and pin, axles move freely but while I put the 46RE transmission in neutral, I still can’t turn the driveshaft or gears? I’m tempted while on jacks to fire it up and put it in neutral while running? Or even putting transfer case in neutral. I just didn’t want a small disaster to happen lol

[@redneckweekly]

Awesome video! Thank you for putting this together

[@oldnick4707]

Yup, thanks

this is an awesome video. easy and very detailed without loud background music. thank you!

[@hustonford4590]

I have a 98 Lincoln Navigator. Pushed axles in but C-clips do not slide out. The ends are gripping the axle.

[@bibektamang2505]

Nice instructions video thank you 🙏🏻

[@pasqualedemaio919]

Thank you sir exactly what I needed

[@connellyslandmanagement725]

What year is that rear end out of???? Why does it have a spare gear behind the ring gear???

[@jhas8587]

does any body know wht the axle on my 1981 el camino axle shaft where the c clip goes in is just a bout worn off

[@mikehancho1613]

Why does one side of my axel have play in it? One side is tight thr other side has movement in and out?

[@fernandoperezfelix1889]

Una pregunta que medida es el tornillo que ajusta el perno y que rosca lleva para apretar el perno

[@itsalifestyle496]

I got flood coming out of this part that you're working on and now about a month later my Jeep will not go when I give it gas and then I guess something catches on and it will go and then it'll stop and then go but the motor is still running when you press the gas it rolls up real high and then stops the wheels ain't moving when you're giving it gas and then something catches on I guess and it goes would this be the problem or is it something else

[@karlfelongco7215]

Nice video 👍 for me So that I have knowledge about to repair differential

[@ericpierce7311]

Can you or anyone tell me how to remove the axle C clips on a Torsen differential? They are not the same as this and do not just come out easilly like these standard clips do.

[@lisad476]

Thankyou..appreciate this

[@jasonochs8369]

Any tips on getting the cross pin out? I can only get it to move about 1/16" either way. Sledge, air hammer, press...nothing

[@frankpaya690]

Something's just not adding up, I see this was four months ago, whatever happened with that?

[@jasonochs8369]

@@frankpaya690 I took it into an axle shop and THEY couldn't get the cross pin out either. We eventually decided to cut it to get the axles and carrier out. Half of the pin is still in the carrier...lol. No idea what's going on with that

[@jy7duality]

Great video thanks for your help buddy

[@oldnick4707]

I needed to know whether it had a retaining clip or like a bolt pretty much. The 1st thing you told me was that it was a bold, and off I go to the races. I really appreciate this. The rest of these, it seems as though, are done by dealerships, which are trying to scare you and all. All I needed to know was how to get the worst pin out., big joke!!

[@missioncommunications3225]

How come none of these videos on KZbin ever show the removal of the driver's side axel? I need to replace bearings on the driver's side axel and I have no idea if there is any additional work involved in getting the driver's side axel to come out. I'd like to know before I start taking things apart.

[@frankpaya690]

I know you posted 5 months ago, but just in case you haven't done this job yet, there isn't anything special about getting the driver side out, from removing the passenger side.

[@bluflame4594]

My axel won't go in far enough to pull out the C lock like it needs to go in just a hair more so I can pull it out but it wont clear please help

[@Ryan-sj6jm]

Great video

[@carlosarce6352]

THANKS!

[@frankpaya690]

Looks like a Ford 8.8, Axel must be for demonstration purposes, the bearing caps for the carrier are on backwards. Arrows goes out.

[@dustyrhoads5016]

What size wrench does it take on that small bolt

[@tybrown2583]

Did you find out what size I need to know

[@ernestvantent5510]

C lock always see axles on the roads coming out of a chev great design a...

[@frankpaya690]

The only way that's possible would be if the axle shaft itself actually broke in 2. You're probably seeing the press- on bearing types, that have a collar bolted to the axle tube.on that kind if the bearing goes out, the axle, drum/rotor, and tire as a unit can slide out of the side gear.

[@NeverEnoughPyro40]

@@frankpaya690 Actually you were totally confused and have it backwards! If a C clip axle brakes your axle will slide right out along with your brakes and wheel! That is the exact reason why race cars have to install a C clip eliminator kit, So if your axle snaps the other half of the axle does not come sliding out along with your brakes and wheel! If you actually knew how these rears functioned you would know that you cannot lose a wheel on the other style because it is held in place by a plate which is sandwiched all the way on the outside of the axle with a steel collar! So how can a bad bearing cause a vehicle to lose its axle, brakes, or even wheel? I have no idea where you got your information but you have definitely been misinformed! Think about it the only thing that is holding the axle, rotor or drum and tire in the axle tube is one small little C clip! Just google C-clip eliminator kits, It will explain everything you need to know, This way you don’t have to continue miss informing people!

[@frankpaya690]

@@NeverEnoughPyro40 if you lose the axle you're going to lose the "wheel' because the wheel's bolted to the axle. the collar you're talking about is much smaller than the outside diameter of the bearing which if the bearing falls apart- cage and all, there's nothing to stop it from sliding out past the plate that's bolted to the axle tube. with semi floating axles, it engages with the side gear, the plate bolted to the axle tube in four places, with the bearing on the axle shaft holding it in place, if the bearing fails there's nothing to hold it in place. I've had it happen. You need to do more research, instead of showing how little you know. you come across as someone who hasn't turned wrenches but has heard of a lot of things and watched a lot of videos, but doesn't understand structurally how things are put together.

[@tjvickers6023]

Little oil makes it slide in and out easy peasy

[@redbloodedamerican8263]

6 point but what size? thx

[@joepatenaude3957]

Pinion shaft and bolt I thought that was the spider gear retainer pin

[@bloodknight956]

Hi just a question i have a 2001 silverado and my rear differential seams to have shifted to the right side the caliper is grinding with the disk an i think its holding in the axel i had the same axel removed because it did the same thing the one that was replaced was broken were it holds the clip any help????

[@tescoireland1234]

What do you do when the critical 8mm bolt is snapped when you try take it out.😠😠😠

[@byuiautomotivevideos2254]

Get a big punch and hammer and drive the pinion shaft through... enough to shear the bolt

[@perres1644]

The 8 mm bolt broke half way in I can't take it out

[@robertcampos4204]

I'm currently working on a GM 10 bolt, need to remove the axle shaft as well in this exact process BUT the axle shaft does not push inside enough to drop the C-Clip, Id hammering so it can't just give me enough inches to remove the C-Clip. Anyone got any advice?

[@atonicassassin]

Turn it around and use a magnet, seen a guy pull them out like that before same with the Pinon shaft, idk if itll actually work but that's what he said to do

[@NeverEnoughPyro40]

Most likely the reason you can’t push your axles in to release the C- clip is because your axle is hitting your ABS sensor! On Chevys you have to remove the ABS sensors from the backing plate before you can push the axles in! I know this response is late but I’m sure there are plenty of other people who are having the same issue! This is a cut and dry job and if your having a hard time it is most likely because you have overlooked something really simple!

[@magapickle01]

There's a spring in mine keeps the c clip from comment ng out

[@yeudsiegal5285]

I took off 5 little yellow springs off and I don't know what tool to use to put them back

[@frankpaya690]

Little yellow springs? From where?

[@yeudsiegal5285]

@@frankpaya690 from the thing in the middle that puts pressure on the spider gears. It is a bracket the holds 5 yellow springs in a posi-trac.

[@orlanmedina3693]

good video, just wondering how the c lock doesnt fall when the pin is in?

[@tahoeoverland7712]

C lock or C-clip as others refer to them, is actually being held in by the spider gear because it sits inside it. The pin he took out doesnt allow the axle to move inwards, thus keeping the c-clip/c-lock in place. Hope that makes sense!

[@dougngn]

Overland, makes total sense ! Your comment may have just helped me solve my problem ! And Medina, glad you asked. Nice video also !

[@hustonford4590]

Question. What to do when C-clips don't slide out. Like they have are literally around the axle shaft.

[@frankpaya690]

@@hustonford4590 with the spider pin out can you push in the axle shaft far enough to grab the clip with a pair of pliers and pull it?

[@nickcormier8571]

Easy peezy nice and easy

Nice job prying on the bolt...dip stick. Lmao

[@famusman5989]

Looked like a school project presentation assignment and you got in the way of the camera

[@commentbeast3985]

Hi, new Subscriber...mines didn't have a bolt inside...all I saw was a hole, when I look inside that hole I see a smaller hole. I tried to push that part out but it would not move as if there was something stopping it

[@aboomalacani2732]

I think mine is like yours. Did you figure it out? I am at that point (just discovered no bolt).

[@NeverEnoughPyro40]

@@aboomalacani2732 A lot of times the head of the bolt snaps off! Usually you can use a 90° pick and reach inside that hole and unscrew the broken bolt out!

[@GriffinsFanChris]

I can't get the axle pressed in enough to remove the c clip. I need another 1/8" or less.

[@NeverEnoughPyro40]

I’m willing to bet that your axles are probably hitting your ABS sensor in the backing plate!

[@GriffinsFanChris]

@@NeverEnoughPyro40 It was because the back of the lug studs was hitting a spot on the backing plate. Once I rotated the axle to a spot where none of the studs would hit, I gained a fraction of an inch and the c clip came out with ease.

Fuk the other videos..This is the professional one.

Sorry but my jaw dropped when u started prying on the treads of that bolt.! Sad

Once you have both axles removed, is there a trick to making sure nothing inside of that differential moves when pounding off rusty parking brakes as an example?

A rag

awdtalon57 gonna agree.. prying against the threads of the pin bolt? Bad practice in my book.. but I'm picky

need volume

[@planbmotorsportsmedia5664]

Well it's bone dry.. so obviously things are going to be stubborn.

Lmfao😂 this here is a very critical bolt don’t ruin this bolt it’ll be a sad day 2 min later use critical bolt in pin and pry against with flathead 😂

It’s bad

[@DON-yq2op]

I don't think they call them C-clip axles they call them semi floating axles. Oh a nice job prying against the threads on that very special don't break or damage it bolt. And where are your protective mechanics gloves. This isn't fun time hurry up and get this done video, this is teaching time and you need to show people a correct way of working on a vehicle, not just a Bang Bang, rip rip, pry pry and get your hands all filthy and stinky with gear oil video.
