Rear Half shaft clip tight

Anyone successfully got this off? its really awkward location makes it so difficult spent about 3 hrs just on this bought reverse pliers and picks but cant reach it. Wheel bearing has bad rumble and wheel is loose.

Pic isn't great
The copper C clip? You remove the centre bar then push the hub inwards to clear the groove that the clip is in and it should just slip off, there is a tsb for them being too loose(endfloat)
How is yours stuck?

You are allowed 1.8 mm endfloat.If you remove the bolt and lock tab on the bearing cap and tippex the ring nut inside the cap and back it off a few turns the clip will come out.I would doubt is the wheel bearing is causing the rumble.There should be a modification cage between the planetry gears also.

+1 you have to remove the bar in the centre undo the 8mm pinch bolt remove pin push shafts in clip falls off pull half shafts out

took me ages to get the pin back in the right place a fiddly job and a lot of patience as well

Yeah i have taken bolt & pin out, but half shaft wont budge perhaps cos one of cogs fell in its way. I didnt realise C clip falls off. Do i need to remove brake drum to get free float?

Ok so slaken off bearing nut too. Oil in diff is cleanish, i was hoping wheel bearing at fault.

You may have to if you cant get the clip out.If the bearing is gone you will have to change the half shaft also as the rollers run on it.Never had one go .You have to take the gears out .Just feed the two of them back in together easy peasy one from each side.Ps don't forget the shims.

Will have alook Monday. Rumble noise dissapears when turning right, what does that mean? Exhaust is short and diff gets really hot.
