How To: TTB Dana 35 C-clip Eliminator Mod

Black sheep o' the family
Now, if any of you are like me that have the TTB, they've torn into it a couple of times and Im sure you know what a pain in the a$$ it is to drop that front pumpkin :furious: just to remove that center axle shaft to change the u-joint.

This is the easiest mod I've ever done in my life (after the pumpkin's removed of course).

TOOLS NEEDED:

1.) See:
2.) Welder (for some people)

____________________________________________________________

PARTS NEEDED:

1.) New u-joint ( you're in there already, so why not? )

2.) Echo chain saw part # 69621655730
- readily available at most lawn and garden shops for around $5.00

3.) #20 Hose clamp (1 3/4" to 3/4") or a welder

_____________________________________________________________

Installation of the spring is a little tricky (tight fit) After it's on there, use the c-clamp to bolt it up or tack weld the ends onto the shaft. Either way works.
