I am replacing the passenger side CV half shaft on my 89 Mitsubishi Montero. Everything was going great until I attempted to install the snap ring on the shaft. I had my son pulling the CV boot side while I tried all sorts of methods to get the snap ring into the groove. I know it is very close but I can't get the last one or two millimeters.


Darrell,

Do you mean the outer snap ring at the hub and that it's not sticking out far enough that you can get the snap ring on? <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

If so, then somethings not right. The end of the axle shaft should stick out far enough that shims may even be required because of how far out it will stick out past the hub surface.

HTH. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />
