My son decided he wanted to rebuild the 7.5 in his 85 GT as the spider gears are destroyed. He acquired and older (82 or 83) 7.5 with the Auburn style diff. He managed to get the R side c clip out after getting the pin partially out. I managed to get the pin the rest of the way out but still can't get the axle to go in far enough to get the c clip off. I read an install manual that says the Auburn uses it's own C clips, and the clip that we got out is a cast piece with a ridge that runs around the edge as opposed to the flat ones I've pulled out of every other rear I've had apart. Any clues? I've used a hammer to try to beat it in and it just bounces, so I know it's hitting something solid. It appears to be the outer seal/bearing. It's just so close...
