I jacked up the rear end today to adjust the rear drums, clean them out good and bleed the lines. I got a little more than I bargained for today; I found that one side was leaking gear lube from the axle seal. SO I replaced the seal and put everything back together and its seems to brake well.

NOW I am sitting here second guessing whether or not I installed the C clips correctly... Anyone care to weigh in on any "how to" info? The clips just dropped in to place, I pushed the axle shafts out all the way then reinstalled the center pin and lock bolt. I would think that if the C clips didn't seat all the way, I would not be able to slide the axle shafts out enough to instal the center pin. Am I over thinking this? I drove just to test the brakes up to about 20mph in the neighborhood after I put everything back together and didn't hear any clunking, ticking or any bad noises.

If the pin is in and there's no noises, the C-Clips are in correctly, can't get the pin in without fully seating the clips into their indents anyways...and you haven't lost an axle shaft....yet ?

That's good to hear and sort of what I thought but had a bit of a "moment."

And no, I haven't lost an axle shaft yet after, like I said, driving in the neighborhood at about 20 mph with plenty of turns stops and speed bumps.

Thanks for the quick reply!

does anyone know how to get the door lock set(outside) to connect to the hand lock(inside)....??? if so im dying to know. i think something on the inside of my truck may have rusted apart.

i got the new door lock in, connected to some metal rod, and i cant figure out how to connect it to the handle? i guess... im screwed hahha

anyway, also, does anyone know where i can get the service manual for a 1995 ford f150 xl?

thanks.

Manual try eBay or even a junkyard as for the door handle they are all simple for the most part I haven't looked at mine in awhile so I don't remember how it works
