I say it in all seriousness. It was an eye opener, not having any experience with c-clipped lunchbox lockers.

I've seen other axle repairs and have participated in axle build ups and I can honestly say that if it were me, stuck on a trail with that locker, i don't think I would have been able to get the c-clips out.

Having to spend close to an hour to work the 4 spring/pins out slowly, with a pocket knife, just to get the c-clips loose, is not my idea of the best set up for a trail repairs.

Brad is a very patient man, that's all I know. That's another thing I learned this weekend, I guess.


Please note the in the post. I was simply pointing out that not ~all~ lunchbox lockers have the same inherent problems as those of the D35 variety. I'm glad to hear everyone got off the trail safe and sound.
