  View original topic: Resizing a snapring, IRS

Hi all,

I removed the axle flanges, only to find on BOTH sides the snapring just hanging there.

That can't be a coincidence.

It looks bigger than the ones retaining the flange - not sure it can be resized to fit and seat.

Is that snap ring supposed to be beefier than the one retaining the flange?

THANKS

It's just a spacer not a snap ring.

I think I read somewhere that these rings tend to pop off...

Make sure you reinstall the spacer with the flat side facing out to to the CV cup like in the picture.
