does the 8.8 pinion have a crush sleeve? i dropped a c clip into the pinion oil area and cant get it out. im guessing the only way to get it out is remove the pinion. but i dont want to do it if i cant just remove the pinion nut, knock out the pinion/bearings/shims and get the clip and put it all back togeather. is there a better way? the only reason im afraid of takin it out is b/c when i had to take the pinion out of my 30 the shims were warped and ppl told me i need new shims and itd be best to get it set up by a pro. long story short i ended up putting in new gears (4.10's, which is what lead me to buy the 8.8) and had to shell out a little over 600 for gears and labor. i just dont want to knock out this pinion and some how end up spending another 600 for something that wasnt forseen.
