2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee removing/installing front cv axles. How do you deal with the snap ring on the shaft?
Makes it impossible to pry out of differential or push axle shaft in all the way?
The axle just snaps back in, in order to do this you must push on the axle straight ahead, if you are at an angle u will not get it to snap back into the internal groove, there is no way around it, u just keep trying until it snaps back into place, have done 100's of these so do know what i am talking about here.
I have fought these for hours, the only real trick is do everything straight on and do it with a quick snapping motion. A slide hammer helps, I suggest if you can't get it u buy one. see hammer at link, u may also be able to rent these.
