1965 Chevelle Blog #4: C-Clip Axle Removal V8TV

http://www.v8tvshow.com - Our 1965 Chevelle has a 10-bolt rear axle, and while preparing the housing for some detailing and upgrades, we show you how to remove "c" clip-style axles. This is handy if you're changing gears, differentials, or upgrading to disc brakes. It's a pretty simple trick.

@foranddustin1286- not always will you end up with a failed attempt welding spider gears.. i race stock cars on 1/4 mile track and i have raced many races i welded gears together with a mig welder and have won races on them.. never underestimate what a mig welder can do :)

Awesome video but I have a question. Ibown a 70 chevelle with a turbo 400 and a 10 bolt rear end with posi and 3.73 gears. I'm am currently building a true LS6 454 and was wondering if I have 2 change to a 12 bolt rear end?? Will it thrash what I have in it now? the 400 is built with a shift kit also. Hope 2 hear from you. Thanks

@forandustin1286 thanks, but i actually just removed the pin and both axles could be pulled out. like @xavios18 said. I thought it had something to do with a c clip which it did not.

[forandustin1286]

@aknowneemus Look towards the hub, pay attention to whether or not its got a loose spring in between the hub and the axle itself

If that doesnt work then,im stumped.

[forandustin1286]

@swampthing1034 Yeah, dont weld anything, you will end up with a failed attempt, unless your an amazing precision machinist. And what car, what make, what model. I dont see how youll ever use a sprocket either, oil expands when it gets hot and if you have any holes in your housing, it will leak.

[forandustin1286]

@xavios18 I was thinking the same thing, good point

[swampthing1034]

Great video! im thinking of using a car axle for a dune buggy by replacing the ring gear with a sprocket and welding the spider gears, since thier is no way to keep the oil in with a chain. Any advice would be great.
