Right front C V axle question

Hi Bill,
Yes, I remember reading that post.
Before I removed the axle and transfer case shaft I unbolted the transfer case (as I was removing it anyway) and removed the clip before removing the shaft. I even used a rubber band in the clip slot before I pulled it out to protect the seals.
My question is must the clip be put back on before installing the shafts? Why use it? It seems the clip would only be needed to hold the shafts in during factory assembly. With no clip in place ( thinking about using an O-ring) it would make future removal much easier.
Thanks for the input![Smile](https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif)

If the shaft were to slightly move in and out under normal driving operation and you had an O ring instead of a hard clip, wouldn't the O ring run the risk of being gradually chewed by the spline edges?
The risk being that you could have O ring debris being generated and circulated in your transmission?
