Removing C-Clip from Axle

I'm trying to remove the axle so I can change a wheel bearing. Someone said that if I just push in the axle the c-clip will fall out, but it doesn't. The axle will not go in far enough for the clip to fall out. Like 1/8 or the clip is still in the hole, and thus cannot come out. I have no clue what to do. Please helpc

Re: Removing C-Clip from Axle

You have to remove the center pin first, inbetween the 2 ends of the axles. There is one 8mm ( I think ) bolt that holds the pin in, unbolt it and the pin will slide out. Then you push the axles in far enough to remove the c slips.

Re: Removing C-Clip from Axle

I'm not a dumbass, I did that already. I wouldn't be able to even see the clip if I didn't. I pushed the axle in but it won't go in far enough for the clip to be removed, or this is normal and there is some way to remove the clip that I don't know about. Anyone?!?! Please I need help!!! Thanks

Do you have TCS? You have to remove those sensors so you can push in the axles all the way.

Re: Removing C-Clip from Axle

I dont know, maybe I do??? How is that done. There are sets of wires running to each side, one of for the ABS and I don't know what the other is. Could this be the TCS? Do I just unplug or do I have to unbolt something? Thanks a million man!!!
