Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Today I put new front bearings and sleeves into my gq 1994 patrol and when I put the new ones in I could not get the sirclip on once I had it all back together .I am wondering if the sleeves are a different width if any one else has had same problem would love some advice as to what I have done wrong, cheers

i take it your talking about the circlip on the axle just before you throw your fwhs back on. mayby try giving the axle a pull usually they have a bit of play in and out, most have a bolt hole on the end you can screw something into and pull it out that way. i usually just put my circlip pliers in there and pull it out that way, hope this helps

As Benos says, its a PITA but can be done and needs to be done.... Just use plyers to try and pull the splined part out a bit adn circlip on circlip plyers, it will work.

probably just a bit of grease stopping it from coming all the way out. Pull it apart again and clean it, smear a very small amount of grease on the copper shim and reassemble.

Thanks guys, tried again tonight and had success was very tight but finally managed to get that dammed sirclip into its home
