rear end help

[barrettb]

a seal went out on my m1009. the piece that the seal when out on is the piece that the tire bolts on to that goes to the middle of the axle. and i am not sure how to take the piece out of the axle so if you could help me it would really help me.

Please reread what you wrote it is a bit hard to read. Also you need to post your location in your signature line.

You have c-clip axle which means you need to remove the differential cover and pop the c-clips off of the axle shafts in order to remove them.

the c clip is held on by 2 bolts?? if it is i already took it off but the spindle/shaft still wont come out.ami still doing something wrong??

You need to remove the rear inspection cover. As you rotate the carrier around you will find a small pin/bolt that secures the center shaft of the carrier. Once the pin is removed, the center shaft can be slid out of the carrier. Once thats out of the way, the axle can be slid in enough to get the C clip off the shoulder on the axle. All of this should be covered in the technical manuals that are available as a free download here on Steel Soldiers.

ok i have gotten to the "c" clip. but i am having problems getting it off. is there any tips for taking them out??

If the center pin is out, have someone push IN on the axle enough so you can slide out the c clip. Good luck!
