Installation of a c clip is the reverse of removing. Put the diff unit in(good choice on the True Trac), slide in axles all the way, put the c clips on and push the axles outwards, drive the pinion shaft through etc etc.

I meant to tell ya, make sure you remember the orientation, and location of the shims and spacers you pull out. They are crucial in the measurement process for setting it back in.
