leadfoot jimmy Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 Yes you should be able to just reinstall the stub shaft if the lock ring is still on the shaft you can expand it a little so it will hold better. A tip for the install put the gap up on the lock ring to help with install. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
propanejoe Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 My concern is, where have the pieces of the broken circlip gone? I dont think it would be a good thing if they were to be in circulating around in the front diff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monkeyposeur Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 I had the axle stub pull out of my 4EAT. I was jacking up the hub and the jack slipped and the spring tension pulled out the axle. I just shoved it back in and it has worked fine since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
