This may be beating the dead horse but I can't seem to find it anywhere. I am looking for the part number for the C-Clips for the front axle flanges. Thanks in advance!!!

Cantitan,

The stealer said I needed that as well. I ordered it and did not install it. Only installed the flange (P/N 38220-8S11A). It lists for about $160 but cost me $148 as I'm a mechanic and my shop has a wholesale account set up with them. Also make note that if buying the flange, you don't have to buy a new c-clip. It comes with one on it.

When you say you have this issue, you mean you have the issue shown in El Mamito's post above or you know you need a new circlip like M109Rider (the original poster on this thread)? If you have the issue in El Mamito's pic, you need to figure out exactly what's broken. It could just be a crapped out circlip, but it could be like M109Rider's issue and the entire flange may be bad. Figure that part out and order either the circlip or the flange and you should be good to go.

As for how to figure it out, drain the diff, pull the cv axles, and then pull the flange that's not seated fully in your diff. Inspect it and confirm it is in good condition (not chewed up or broken) and still has the groove on the end for the circlip. If so, order the circlip and install it. If the flange is broken, order a new flange and install it.

So you need to assess the situation and figure out if you need just a circlip or the whole flange.

Don't think so. I think the circling goes on the flange like on a CV axle. But download the factory service manual (free pdf on nicoclub.com) and see what's involved.

I have a brand new clip on mine, I didn’t stretch it out as much as you did there in in your pic. I think what you’re gonna need to do is get a PVC or ABS pipe that is just large enough for the shaft cut a 1” section, then cut that pipe in half horizontally so that you can clamp it on there with a hose clamp to compress the spring. But loose enough to have it slip off when you push the stub shaft in to the differential. Like a piston ring compressor, the plus side to have that loose is it’s not likely to let the stub shaft fall out again.
