what shims?

 

[93PGT]

they are the clutch plate spacer things on the sides

 

[BigTang]

the shims on the side of the diff? between the bearings and the housing? NO!! don't touch those.

i'm assuming you have the minispool installed at this point and you've put the axles back into the tubes and they are seating properly in the splines in the minispool. you need to shove! the axle and then push the c clip in. if you don't have a buddy there use a ratcheting tow strap to pull the axle in.

with the axels pushed in all the way, and the mini spool on the splines the end of the axel does not stick out far enough to put the clips on

will a mini spool work with a posi rear end?

will a mini spool work with a posi rear end?

No.

 

[93PGT]

that was the problem. so i guess i'll get a trac loc rebuild ki t

 

[BigTang]

from what i've seen you have to use an open carrier so that the mini spool can go in centered, there isn't quite enough room inside the trac lok diff for it.

yeah I found that out the hard way.
