Dude, it totally broke because you didn't tighten it a 1/4 turn past badass.shmoken875 wrote: The problem is not getting it in; it's [potentially] having to take it out. Now I had to take mine out because I didn't get it aligned just perfect like Terry said and broke the active spacers a few months later. BUT, should you break an axle shaft and have to take it apart you might encounter the same situation I did. It's not the most common thin to happen, but it has happened; the c-clip manages to increase in diameter somehow and sometimes won't come out that slot........don't say I didn't warn ya before you put it in, sometimes being pro-active is the best fix.

10 hrs to get a c-clip out

Gotten some stuff to add to this build thread, the rear dif cover has been replaced for a Crane unit, and the lug nuts were just replaced with some anodized blue ones.
This winter i hope to have the rocker replacement done, unibody stiffeners welded on, half door finished, and start on the rear bumper with tire carrier.

- flexing it out, longer shocks and brake lines up front would help
