I don't have a circlip in mine (race car) haven't for years. it can't fall out unless something else is wrong because it is held in at the hub end, and the hub is held to the subframe by the control arms

thanks for the quick reply

i thought the circlip was there to keep the diffs seal against the shaft. if there is any movement at all wont oil leak out?

Hope these help, its just a circlip that sits on the end of the driveshaft inside the diff

Oh! How did you get those schematics???

Is it possible to obtain these?

drag-on-silvia, I hope you don't mind me hijacking the thread for a minute. While we are on the topic of front shaft does anyone know how to remove this boot (pictures below) from the front shaft? I am trying to remove that metal segment of the shaft that houses the bearings.

Cheers!

HI manage13 the metal disk in the end of the shaft will pop out quite easily the best way is to remove the shaft from the car and just give it a light tap from the hub end with a soft hammer and the disk will pop straight out then you will find there is a circlip that holds the bearings on the shaft so is a fairly staight forward proccess of removing the circlip the bearings will then slide straight off the splined shaft. Assembly is just as simple slide the new bearings on install the new circlip and boot repac with new grease (supplied with the new boot) replace the disk that seals the shaft and reinstall. Might be a good idea to have the shaft checked though as if the cup itself has excessive wear new bearings alone will make no differance if the shaft is clicking while on lock. and you may need to soarce some good condition secon hand shafts.

Just a quick business plug here just for the benefit of forum members that may not know.

If people are looking to replace CV boots look no further than Pedders. An original cv boot from Nissan is about $90 each however I dropped of my old boot to Pedders Dandenong and they matched it for $35. The kit contained boot, two metal clamps and greece.

Big thumbs up to Pedders Dandenong for great customer service too! Dropped my old boot off at 4pm and was called 11am the next day informing me the boot was ready for pick up.

Hi manage13 you don't know that Pedders part number you were supplied do you? I'd like to buy the boots you are talking about.

All, I have attached the front drive shaft section from the manual for reference; though I am sure that this is no match for personal experience.
