Gorilla axles in a Grizzly..

[hadster]

A friend of mine ordered nice Gorilla axles for the back of his Grizzly, as we installed them noticed the Gorllia ones have super strong squared off retaining clips.The factory ones push in and pop out fairly easily, however the Gorillas take alot to get in. Then we started to think.........how will we EVER get these back out someday if they need to come out again for some reason.
Does anyone have ideas on how to pull them out if needed???
Thanks for your input.

Some guys have had to use a slide hammer. I bought some of those clips and used one on my factory axle as the other round one kept popping out. It has worked great.

They are very difficult to get out. I put them in my 06 660 and have had the misfortune of removing them. pull, wiggle, drink, repeat, until one comes out then hammer the other one out from the other side with a punch. great idea not designed for easy service.
