alright i finished. thank you every one for all your help. Oh but before i forget i got one thing on the back of my mind. Is it possible to put the c-clip in backwards?i took my car to a jiffy lube to make sure my diff level was right and they tried selling me a diff oil change and new backplate. lol those guys are unreal.

 

C-Clip is not directional, being you made it to Jiffy Lube and back without axle coming out of rear diff you should be ok.

 

alright guys, its been about 2 weeks and i checked my diff fluid again just to make sure its right, and its leaking out of the bottom of the diff cover. The gasket i put on it must not be on right or maybe theres some unlevel spots. someone told me that i have to put an atv sealent with on the gasket. Is this true? i thought you should never use atv sealent when using a gasket. What should i do, should i take it off and scrap the surface to make sure its level?

 

And I need help. I am in Iceland, own Cadillac Dewille 2004. Can anybody tell me how I can contakt someone to help me with my car. The car will not start, no light in the dascboard. What can i do. My e-mail is gumminn@yahoo.com if you can help me.

 

hey guys its been awhile, but i figured id let you know how everything turned out. I replace the bearing, the axle, andthe seal again, nowit dosent leak anymore. I found out that the guy who owned the car before me had to change out the bearing and axleon the other side. He said there was some defect where the bearing was a tougher material than the axle on that year of the car. But non the less i finished and it drives great now. I want to thanks everyone for their help, i couldnt of done it without yall. It was defintially a learning experince.
