Circular clip holding paddle axle in place

I looked through the manual for this unit and you need a more comprehensive parts drawing showing the drive details. They do not have this kind of detail on line, my advice is to contact them directly by phone.

Shouldn't be anything other than the clip.
Most times I use a pry bar to snap it out.

Remove the rear cover. Remove the 5/16 (8mm) bolt that holds the center pin and slide the pin out. Push in on the axle (from the outer stud/drum end). When the "C" clips fall out (inside of the rear-Pumpkin) that hold the semi-floating axle in place, slide the axle out. The gears should come right out.

Remove mat from platter. Using a small screwdriver remove the cir-clip holding the platter on, careful here mind your eyes it may spring away. Carefully lift the platter of, not too much force, you will see the belt laying underneath. Take the belt and put it around the underside of the platter, you will see where it goes, just on the large inside edge. Put the platter back on but not the cir-clip yet. Move the platter around until you can see the motor spindle. Using a small screwdriver and your finger put the belt onto the motor spindle. Make sure it is not twisted. Test the player if the turntable spins OK replace the cir-clip, this can be tricky but get it located first then lift the back up to clear the spindle bearing. There you go.

A small screwdriver or needle nose pliers will work to remove the cir-clips that hold on the shaft.

The axles are held in by a cir-clip. It takes a sharp force to seat them into the groove inside your transmission. This is usually accomplished by hammering on the axle stub or I do it by placing the axle shaft into the trans, then use the outer part of the CV shaft to hammer the inner part in.

remove the center cover facing the rear of the truck. you will see side gears with the shafts axle end at each side gear. a C clip will have to be removed from each shaft at the end of each axle. Then remove the wheels and pull out the axles

You mean the clips that holds the axle shafts in the axle housing? You need to take the cover off the rear axle, now theres a small bolt in the carrier housing that holds the large pin in, remove the small bolt and push the pin out, then push the axle shaft inwards and the clip ( it really looks like a small horseshoe) will fall out, if it doesnt fall out, you will need to remove it, then the axle shaft will pull out. To install its the same way, put the shaft all the way in, install the clip, and pull out to seat it. then install the large pin, but make sure you line up the hole for the bolt.

not a problem,
jack up your car and block it on side frames,you need to have room to work at rear pun-kin,get a pan for rear gear lube to drain in,remove the bolts on the rear of the housing,yours I think should have 12 holding on inspection cover,When you have removed cover,put car in neutral so you can turn the drive shaft,you will see side gear on left and right,in between those side gears is a round shaft ,turn the drive shaft around until you see at one end of that shaft is a 5/16 bolt holding the shaft in .Ok here comes the part you must be very careful!!!!!!
loosen the 5/16 bolt completely but don't pull it out yet,turn drive shaft until the shaft and bolt are pointing down where the shaft will be able to just clear the housing,ok now hold the pin from falling out with your left thumb and remove the bolt with your right hand,
let the shaft come completely out,
"most important" Don't let anyone turn any of the rear wheels or it will spin the spider gears right up and out!!!!!
Go to the broken axle side of the car or have someone who is helping do it,have them push the axle shaft in towards you,if your watching the axle being pushed in you will see a big horseshoe clip fall down,that is all that holds GM axles in!
once the clip falls you can push the axle out some with your fingers and pull it the rest of the way out,
when you reinstall your new axle you need to get that horseshoe clip that fell,insert the axle without turning it,push in it as far as it will go,then you slide the horseshoe clip in the grooved out spot on the axle,hold in in place while someone pulls the axle out where clip will seat it's self,now slide shaft back in with bolt hole on bottom,you may have to wiggle it a little,when you have it in far enough to get the bolt back in go ahead and tighten the bolt,the rest is cleaning the cover gasket off and installing a new one and tighten all the bolts the same and refill,don't forget to put your car back in park before you let it down,
good luck

a simple clip holds it in place? someones not putting the retainer clip on properly or at all.
