Hey guys, I am dissasembling an 8.8 out of a 94 GT for the axles and brakes. I have taken out the cross pin in the diff, and can't seem to get the axle to push in far enough to get the c clip past the S spring. I have tapped it with a hammer and it wont go in any further. Anyone else have this problem?

. Hit it harder. It's an axle, it can handle it
Snap a pic if you can so I can see what you're workin with. Shouldn't be any reason you can't get to the clips

The ABS ring doesn't come close to the housing. The axle housing is the same for Foxes and sn95s.
I should know, I have the M2300K kit, and sn95 ABS on my '86.

what i think is going on is that you see dont see the c-clip..because the clip is turn 180 degrees the other way... try using a magnetic tool grapper.. to turn the clip, around the shaft and properly pull it straight out...
You should still be able to at least see the ends of the clip if its flipped around the backside of the axle

True,the ABS ring doesn't come close to the housing.
You must remove the ABS Sensor before pushing in the axle shaft,otherwise the ABS Ring will contact the ABS sensor, preventing the shaft from being pushed in enough to remove the c clip.
I also have the m2300 kit on my 94 gt.
This may be his problem.

yup totally my problem. I would have bet the house that I had taken them out. I did take them out...out of the front spindles. I had the rear end on saw horses with the diff cover facing up. Couldn't see the sensors...dumb a$$
