The inner piece, in the locknut, has a groove that the "C" clip sits in.

Unless you have the inner piece inside the lock nut turned the wrong way,

I dont see where the clip could just pop out. It rides in the little groove.

Clear as mud, right? Lol

Hey BHQr's! I need a bit of help on the same situation. I outlined what I believe to be the proper steps. Would this be correct? Or by looking at the number items would it be in this order:

#2 - Spacer.

#1 - Locknut but turned around because I think its on the wrong way.

#3 - C Clip.

I want to put this together right now, please help & thank you!

The lock nut is facing the wrong way. You don't need the spacer. Now go put it together.

Don't know if this will help.

Got it but, by doing this with both snap rings in place then the axle would be secure?I can't understand why that spacer is there?? I don't want to snap these rings into place then have play. Why does it come with the package if it serves no purpose?

I think the spacer is for if you use it in a raptor.

Thanks guys :beer: the axle is good to go! Ditched that spacer, popped the ring in there. The locknut presses up in between the sprocket hub & ring. I even cleaned everything up & threw some paint in. Here's before & after.
