Has anyone installed a 8.25 aussie?

how the F did you get the pass side c-clip in? and how hard was it to line up the pass side inner collar? something is not right here

[Buffalo Phil]

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA


You have to finagle the axle shaft in and out until it lines up.

Are you geared??

My 8.25 lunchbox raped my face the first time around.

[ct67_72]

Stock gears, first time im thankful for this, put it this way I got the clip in my way, now i have a hard time getting the center collar lin ed up, wont go in.then i had to come to work. never again. if i break a shaft, i will never get that clip out. I will be buying a new axle

[ct67_72]

now, did yours have a releif for the c-clip like this?

because mine did not, and in the directions it said there is a notch for the c-clip

[Pedro]

Mine had the relief for the C-clip....

[CumminsJeep]

yes, there should be a slot for the c-clip. i think I had it in in under an hour and it was the first one i ever did. it should be very easy

[ct67_72]

well thats the problem. mine had no releif cut for the c-clip, I fought forever, then cut my own

You make me curious as to the exact status of your old lunchbox.

I might have to pull the diff cover off for the first time since last May and take a look

[ct67_72]

already did it, everything else fit perfect, they sent me two of the same side gears instead of one normal and one machined. I knew it wasnt me, got in a little bit of a rush it cut it lol. (and I did it before I saw a pic of one)
I e-mailed them anyway, now I want a discount on a d30 locker

Good Luck I really hope that doesnt cause any problems with it. That would be the suck

Well got it finished this morning, pretty easy with access for the c-clip. Just went down the street and climbed up my stone wall. In 2wd I can hang a tire and actually drive!

[ct67_72]

heres the e-mail I just received;
We just received some news from Aussie about the last shipment of Chrysler 8.25 lockers. The plant in Australia sent the last shipment of lockers with regular cam gears, instead of the c-clip cam gear required for the 8.25 axle. This means installation of the c-clip will not be possible. Aussie will have an answer for us today about the timeline for the replacement cam gear. We are trying to gather some spares that are already in the states. Please let us know if you have a critical event like Moab coming up and in the meantime we will ship them as fast as possible.

Thanks and sorry for the inconvenience!
