Well first off the TT doesn't pop at all,it's a LSD not a locker.
Sure you don't have a powertrax or similar luchbox style locker?


To remove the "C" clips push the axles inward,real easy if you have a TT but a royal pain if you didn't shave them down with a lunchbox style locker.

Yeah that is a common problem with those luchbox lockers,you really need to shave some of the "C" clip off to make disassembly easier.

For those of us that skipped that step what would be the best way to get it out?

I was putting mine in and before I knew it the pops had a screw driver pushing it back in there. :shock: Ill probably take the locker out in the next month and Ive been wondering how I was going to get that C-clip out. Its only the passenger side, the drivers side is fine.

Can you spin the diff 180 degrees and tap them back a bit. then you can spin it back around and pop them with a small screwdriver.
