dumb posi question
ok, I know this is dumb, but how the heck do you collapse the "S" spring on a traction lok carrier so I can install it?
Is there a special tool or technique?
Let me know
Thanks
Chris

It is hard, I found useing a pair of chanel-locks to work the best, if the ring gear is still bolted up. It is easier without it in the way. After getting it in a-little, I used a hamer and tapped it lightly into place. also you can't have the shaft that holds the "spider gears" inplace it wont go on. I found pationce to be the best way! Good luck.

Moved to the correct forum.
You should have the axle shafts part way in (not sticking out of the side gears). You can use a brass hammer or punch, and line it up and knock it into place. There is no spring compressor or specific method of installing it. Just ...get it in there...
