C clip in pumpkin????
I've been recently hearing a loud metal like bang/clunk whenever I hit a decent bump or cycle the suspension coming from the left rear. I tried pulling the left rear shaft and it's insanely stuck. I've tried everything from pry bars and axle pullers and it still won't budge. I've wheeled it for about a year and have always used technique over throttle. I know bent housing can cause this but I figured maybe someone knows something else to try. 2010 rubicon..stock shafts..37s

so say a guy is in the middle of BFE and you break a shaft and cant get it out what are your options? I see videos of guys changing out shafts on the trail but say it shears and the splines are sure stuck in the gear side what is the fix?

As i recall, that flange isn't always straight (depends on where your pinion angle is set). Compare to the other side. Also, check the plug welds. If it really did rotate, those would be sheared off (it has happened). If the tube isn't bent, just weld the tube to the cast and that will prevent any future issues.
Or, upgrade, haha. Just making sure you don't spend money you don't want or need to spend.
