On axles with a locking differential, remove the shaft part way. Rotate the case until the pinion shaft touches the housing.

On axles with a locking differential, use a screwdriver, or a similar tool, in order to enter the differential case and rotate the lock (1) until the lock aligns with the thrust block (2).
Push the flange of the axle shaft toward the differential.

This is not a picture or description of a locking differential. You showed a conventional differential.

This is the answer to a conventional differential and not to an anti-lock differential. I need to know how to remove the C clips to an anti-lock differential.

I have not received an answer to my question. How do I remove the C clips from the end of the axles of an anti-lock differencial. I received an answer for a conventional differencial and that I already know. My 1995 conversion van has an anti-lock differential.

The instructions I have sent have both conventional and locking differential instructions. Disregard the part about conventional diff and follow the locking differential instructions.
