Don't bother replacing then. I've had mine apart literaly dozens of times replacing CV, wheel bearings, diff housings (twice!) and of course busted hubs (I've lost track but at least 4 each side!). And I bought a new set of circlips from Nissan and have them in my spares kit so still have the factory originals. You can theoritically get about 4 different thicknesses but Nissan only supply one. Well they did when I bought mine.

Hi Coxsy,Quite honestly mate dont waste your money ,for years now we have been running just one circlip per side and change CVs quite often ,the CM cvs are designed to run only one and the factory hubs either the full manual ones or the Auto/manual ones are fine with only one clip we are still useing the origional cir clip..Steve
