Help with Rear Disc Swap

[Snoots]

Then you need to kinda push and pull on the axle shafts while rotating the carrier and the little c clips kinda fall out

Not after an hour and a half.

I agree with you 100%. Tell that to the 'C' clips.

Apparently, there's only a RCH space for them to come out. I did find this . . .

Come on I’m just teasing man!
It doesn’t bother me.
As soon as that one dies I’m sure I’ll be slapping in a 14bFF
Maybe spray some brake cleaner to remove the gear oil?
Possible that it’s stuck up in there.
The first two took me a long time and a lot of cussing. After that it got easier. Kinda made me begin to question why I struggled in the first place.
Because to actually do the swap. You will be installing and removing those clips a few times to check fit.

Hey, I still have a tooth pick 10 bolt up front. I make it work.

Always gotta make the best of what you have.

It took 5 minutes to get the RR out and an hour for the LR.
I got the mounting bracket, bolts, debris shield, parking brake pads and cables for $53. Rotors and calipers were another $50.

They were nice enough to comp me a bottle of water.

Thanks to everyone for their tips and tricks!

C clips can be a real PITA! I should've had a C clamp to hold the axle in. I had to use my foot. I was in positions that would've made a pole dancer jealous.

Now, a shower and the drinking lamp is lit!
