im not sure about thebrake lines, but the c clips are in the pumpkin. you must remove the cover and push in on each axle, one at a time (unless u have really long arms) and reach in and magnetically remove the c lcip, youll see it..
it is easier if you have a buddy around to push in the axles and you just stay in one place.
its a steel pin in the differential, theres a 5/16inch bolt holding it in, take the bolt out which might take some umph to get it, should slide out with no problem. push the axles in and use long needle nose pliers to get the c-clips. hope that helps a lil
so i shouldnt have to unbolt the rearend caps to get to the c-clips right? Just push in the axles, and pull out the clip after taking out the steel pin
