Caprice rear axle ??
Ok gearheads, I've been stumped on this one. I need to replace the rear axle bearing on a 92 caprice rear. when I pulled the back cover to access the c-clip, I found myself looking at a cluster of 4 springs on one side on the spiders, and 2 springs sandwiched between 2 steel plates on the other set of spiders. this setup is different than the S-shaped spring clips that I'm used to seeing on posi units.
How does one get to the c-clip on these axles? If I snap out the springs, I see no way to ever compress them enough to re-install.
Thanks in advance. Alex
I saw last night on fb about John. The world sure lost a great one. I'm going to miss his humor, advice, and perspective from another portion of the world. Rest in Peace Johnboy.
