do you nean backing plates? you have ASR dont you? you have to losen or remove the wheel sensors or the exiter rings hit them and wont let you push the axles in far enough to get the C clips off... take the sensors off and the C clips will probably fall out

Question I have the same problem - c-clips won't come off

Gimp98TNT, Were youi able to get your c-clips out of your differential? I was able to get one of mine out, but I need my other axle to push in another 1/16" to get the c-clip out. I removed the sensor from the wheel, but it didn't make any difference. Do you have any advice?

like freak said, I had to pull both wheel sensors off and both axles slid in and the c-clips fell right off. just pull sensor all the way out and you should be fine. Good luck
