Do I have a t lock

Allright, I took the entire rear end apart to put in my new mini spool only to find out that I couldn't open the carrier. An open carrier should have a large hole in the side basically right? Mine was completely sealed and I saw no sign of a place to open it. Now I see some little gears in there so there has to be a way to open it right? If there is can I put the mini-spool in? Or if it is a track lock is there a way to fix it, because it no longer locks?
Thanks

What rear axle do you have? On a 9 inch the ring gear has to be removed to get to the spider gears which is where your spool needs to go.

Oh yeah, I have the 9", but there is no where to put in the spool or open the carrier.

You have to remove the ring gear before you can get inside of the carrier. The bolts that hold the ring gear also hold the cover to the carrier on. The ring gear rest on the back side of the carrier and the cover would be the top where the bolts are for the ring gear. hope this helps

I removed the ring gear, but there appears to be no separation to open the carrier.
