Hey guys,

I can not find a Snap ring for where the axle meets the CV (Birfield) for a GQ patrol. I'm after the snap ring that physical sits inside the CV, and breaks when you separate the CV from the axle.

Im in desperate need of one, and Nissan no longer make them.

I find that very hard to believe... More likely is the guy at the parts counter couldnt be bothered for a $3 part.

Have you got enough of the old one left over to measure?
You should be able to get an equivalent, perhaps from a bearing / fastener company if you take it in there.

The guy at nissan was able to find the part on the computer, but then when I asked for pricing said they wernt able to get them because Nissan no longer made them. Following from that Marks 4x4, Yuris and pretty much every patrol place I called didnt stock them either.

Ended up finding them at a driveshaft place round the corner from home.
