Hi everybody,
I'm working on replacing the bearings and seals in a Dana 35 SLA axle housing, but I can't figure out how to get the center pin past the ring gear! This differential has a 4.10 ratio and the ring gear is huge. Like, the pin is barely visible behind it so grinding the teeth down would not be an option.
I know the techs put it together somehow, so there must be some trick to removing it, right? Or is there some other way to remove the C-clip to free the passenger side axle shaft?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
