pointers removing a locker

[motoman]

trying to pull out a lock rite locker out of a 8.25 to rebuild it any pointers? I have one side out but having a hard time getting the drivers side shaft out.

I got that part out just cant get the other side out so I can get the other shaft out. That is all that I am lacking and cant seem to find a way to get pins to align so it will come out if that makes any sense. I havent searched yet but can I buy just the springs to rebuild this thing or is it trash?

you can buy the springs they are like 17 bucks, what pins are you trying to align? the 4 small dowl pins? pull all the springs out first, then shove all the stuff to one size grab a c clip pull shaft then shove it all the other way and do it again, there are grooves in the thrust plates that allow you to get the c clips out to pull the shafts

I have the passenger side out but cant get enough room to get the drivers side out, that is where I am hung up on. there is not enough room to push everything to one side and pull the second clip out.

If you were closer I would come over and lend a hand. It can be a royal PITA that is for sure, but once you have done it a few times it gets easier.
