Need installation instructions for D35 c-clip Lock-Right

I just did mine yesterday on a 35 non c-clip....

And I have always left them in. But mine is a NON C-CLIP axle. I also do not have the bolt but a roll pin holding the cross shaft in. What gears are you running? I was thinking of putting a lock right in my front but the cross shaft will not come out without removing the ring gear. Did you have to remove the ring gear to install your front 30 lock right?
 
With the stock 3.55 gears I had to remove the ring gear but it was pretty easy. As long as you put everything back in the way it came out you will be all right. Just mark the parts with white-out, it makes it alot easier.

I am putting my Lock-Right into the back of my 1997 D35 Cherokee today. Does anyone know if this guy is right in that you have to leave the spacers out?

I am trying to install this without the instructions. I did the D30 front last week with no problems. Any tips or instructions will be useful. A quick reply would also be appreciated!!

Well since I'm "This Guy", :) I'll reply, that was in a 90 XJ and I ran it for about 3 years like that and sold it (axle and all) and to my knowledge, it is still working. It was install correctly. I have installed others since, and they have all went in that way. Maybe your 97 is different, but they would not fit, that should be a clue that they don't belong. Good luck.
 
Hey, thanks for chiming in JnJ!


This axle had a tracklock so I used those spacers facing into the axle tubes as the 2 splined pieces had nothing to rest on otherwise. I hope this is right.

I put it all together, but now I have about 1/4 or more play in and out on the axle before it hits the C-clip. Is that a "normal" amount of play, or should it be pretty tight? I do not want to lose an axle.

Does anyone have the install instructions? I really could use some help here!

You may have a problem there,they list a different part # for the No-slip in a Trac-lok carrier,they dont even list a Lock-right for a trac-lok carrier!
 
Thanks, but that is the application guide for the No-Slip. I have a lock-right.

I am trying to put the old trak-lok back together for now.

I am still surprised no one knows the answer though. I can get it all together but I just have a 1/4" play side to side on each axle. How much play is normal?

Josh
 
Well if a #35 is #35 then whats the difference? Is this end play with the crosspin installed??
 
Yeah, there is a 1/4 endplay before it hits the c-clip, with the pin installed. I am assuming that that is too much.

Also. I so not see on the chart where it says it will not work in a Trak-lok axle. It just says trak-lok standard.

I appreciate the help!

Josh
 
Thats to much end play.Did the "Go/No-go" gauge check out?
 
What is the "Go/No-go" gauge?

I am mostly trying to get the old trak-lok back in right now.

You have to reset the gears if you remove the carrier, right?

Josh
 
NO reset of the gears is necessary for a lock rite, ever. You haven't changed anything in the gear set up. The lock rite is a lunch box locker, so no change in gear backlash in an open carrier. Does that make sense? I don't know what the trac lock looks like on the inside, but you should be able to put it back inside the carrierand be ok.
check your pm if you are still messing with it and you can call me. I'll try and make more sense.?
 
Thanks for the offer KY Chris, but I am trying to reinstall the trak-lok into the carrier, not the lockright.

I was able to get a lockright into the front D30 easily enough, but I am afraid part # 2311S2 will not fit a D35 with a trak-lok.

I did just now get the Trak-lok back in (1am) but I have a feeling I will need to start saving for a new axle. I just need to get a couple hundred miles out of this one...

Josh
 
Been a while since I messed with the D35 and lockright, but when I was messing with them, no lockright worked with the factory trak-lok, the only "lunch box locker" that would work with the trac-lok carrier was the no slip. Call them and see.
BTW, the movement of the axle in and out "play" seems about right.
