    12 bolt axle retainers

    Received my parts from Tom's Diff. today.

    First off, do all c clip eliminators/axle retainers require removing the locking collar to change the grease/gear lube seal/bearings?

    Second, I guess I have to bring my brakes/backing plate to the shop who presses on the retainer?

    Third, how do I know, with my crappy caliper, what size axle size I need for the retainer to fit properly? I'm measuring the locking collar at about 1.553"

    Also the locking collar outside dimension is only .030" wider than the new housing end?

    Do I have these parts in the proper order? I realize the backing plate can go on and off without the seal and bearing. I think I have something mixed up for the locking collar to be only .030" wider than the housing end. What am I missing (besides an axle)?
