so I (half) changed the rear end gears today. I got everything set up to spec... however there is a problem when taking out the c-clips... I had to hammer in the axles to get enough room for the c-clips to get out. (I replaced the seals, bearings okay) on the driver side that worked, but on the passenger side I had to pry on the speed sensor and still hammer on it... now the questions...
1: is there a simpler way to do this?
2: if I do the same to get them back in won't I damage the new axle seals?
3: why did 6 things have to go wrong with my first gear install????
(broken nut that holds in pin, then the c-clips, then the shimming was messed up, the pinion nut broke, now the axles won't go back in) , last time I do this...
