what are you doing to keep busting your snap rings then - is it getting a bit of abuse?

reasonable amount of use on green lanes and that is about it...
but before after taking it out for any 'real' use, was taking it down a country road when she started clicking and this carried on for a while prior to having the chance to look closer but then upon doing so... just had a collection of broken parts fall out on the driveway

My advice would be to get a new set of proper rings, put the things back together in exactly the right way and see what happens. Are you doing all the usual stuff, .e. reversing 2-3 metres with the lever back in 2WD to get it out of 4WD and the green light off...? Your post seems to imply that this is not your first snapring failure? If it IS, then just change the rings and it shouldn't recur...if it isn't the first time I'd be looking for a root cause. Sure they do fail but usually because of old age and even then I suspect the majority of users on here have never had the problem.....I've done a shedloads of miles in four T2s and never an issue.... |
