C Clip Eliminators I am installing a new Moser 12 bolt rear end. The stock 10 bolt had C-clips to hold the axles in the housing. How does a C-clip eliminator work? Am I to assume that the pressed bearing against the caliper mount holds this thing in? I can't believe that. How is this thing held together under cornering forces?

They actually bolt onto the housing ends. They definately hold the axles in place, the only problem is that they usually leak after awhile(from what I've seen).

So the press fit bearing against the caliper mount is enough eh? Wow. seems like a press fit is weaker than a c clip to me. Anything I can do to stop the leaking?

wait, the axle has to spin. you are bolting the caliper mount to the axle housing. What is stopping the axle from sliding out is the bearing that is press fitted to the axle shaft. The bearing rides against the caliper mount. Just seems weak to me.
