lastss Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 Push in from wheel side the axles & you should be able to remove the clips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
502ci Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Then use a magnet and it will come right out. Â Â Â Â Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.E Posted May 5, 2015 Author Share Posted May 5, 2015 I think they are a little stuck since they have never been out will tap on them inward and pull clips.Thanks.Hope this is the last thing since I've replaced the 700 2 times since on road since Nov.Rear was not noisy till Sunday going for a ride.But after sitting in shed for 6yrs and 2 yrs on the frame off build.Guess it has to be something wrong.It has 122000 miles on car since I bought it new in 71 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy's Auto Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Do you have the drums off already? Did the cross pin come out with all of its threads? I assume it broke. The axles wont go in far enough with the drums on and is there is a little thread left on the pin, you can try to walk it out with a sharp pick.

D.E Posted May 6, 2015 Author Share Posted May 6, 2015 I got it out yesterday by tapping the axles in and they were stuck in the seals a little tight but the bolt that holds the pin in had to remove the right side carrier cap to get it out.Going to get brgs and new seals this morning.Boy some rust hanging in right tube will get it out before I put it back together.Only on right side I guess from sitting for yrs in the shed.Had the brg rusty mess.Thanks for help.Hope this finishes this car so I can get started in the 35 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
