i just switched the 85 carrier with an 86 and now its loose. i dont have a big enough wrench to tighten the axle nut and was woundering if thats the problem and not the clip or something

 

that is proboly the problem thats what it was on mine when i got bearings just use a pair pliers or i know at the auto zone you can borrow tools you pay for the wrench and when you bring it back you get your money back hope this helps

 

That is a good way of looking at borrowing tools, loveotride123456789. Especially if you would only need to use it once and don't want to expand you own toolbox. I think that will work at most tool stores.

 

cool thanks guys, i will try that
