When removing an axle shaft in a 1994 G20 van is there a C-clip in the differential?
I am replacing a wheel bearing on my 1993 G20 Beauville, so had to answer this. Depends on whether you have a full floating or semi-floating axle setup. Most Chev 3/4 ton (G20) will have the semi-floating axle. You can identify this at the wheel because you will see only the 5 wheel nuts. This type has a C-clip at the end of the axle in the differential so you will need to remove the differential back cover, then remove the pinion lock screw and pinion gear shaft. Push the axle inwards(probably need a helper) and the C-clip will appear, ready to remove and release the axle. I think it is a little harder to locate the C-clips if you have a locking type differential but they are in there. Full floating is more heavy-duty and you will know it by the 8 bolts inside the ring of wheel nuts on a projecting hub at the center of the wheel. No C-clip for this axle type. I think you just need to take the 8 bolts off and free the hub flange to remove the axle.
