Ford 31 spline HD carrier with carbon fiber clutchs and 7/8 cross pin Superior 31 spline axles ford 3.55 gears. As you can see by these horrible pictures the cross pin is hitting the axles. If anyone has any ideas or has run into this before please let me know before i think of things on my own that i know are only going to cause more problems. Thanks guys

Do you have the axles pulled all the way out? If so you can get a notched cross pin but I think you might have to put on some c-clip elimators to run one.

can you grind the end of the axles a bit to make it fit???if its just a lil bit i dont see where it would hurt?
grinding on new axles minda sucks thoo...

I just swaped out mine, the same carrier as you, but I used Alloy brand axles. Had no problems.

Also as already mentioned, after slipping the c-clips on, did you pull out on the axles to seat the clips inside the the side gear?

remove C clips, pull axles out, insert cross pin, re-insert axles,install c clips, call it a day

PRO50SC

Can't do it that way. The pin is designed to keep the axles from moving inward enough so the clips can't come out.

hrm... i typed before I thought...

bring the axles to a machine shop and have the ends thinned out a little bit

i think you need to look at things again, taken apart. if everything you bought was made for an 8.8 mustang, it should all fit without modifications.
