    are you referring to the "wire " ring in the groove at the end of the shaft? this dose not require opening the cover to get to it correct ?

    07JeepXK is right. There is a clip that holds it in place. You do not have to pull the diff cover to remove the axle. It is a pain in the butt to remove it some times.

    well I don't know anyone with a cub tractor or a 3k winch but then it occurred to me that I have this in the drive



    id like to say this worked but at the risk of pulling the XK off the jack stands I backed it off.
    I have given up im putting it back together and taking it to the shop on Monday.
    im hanging my head in shame but life it to damn short

    it will be going over today. to make matters worse as I was working on it I shifted the t-case into neutral thinking it would be easier to turn the shaft as I tried to remove it. now it wont shift back into gear, it just tells me 4wd needs service (no****)
    thank god I have AAA

    You put the t-case in neutral or the transmission in neutral?
