I watched your video on changing rear wheel bearings on a 2011 Silverado I have a 2011 Suburban which I was told is the same rear end, but I did not see you change the right side. the video showing how to do everything to the left now is there another C clip holding in the right side axle or is onr C clip holding both sides in?

Okay, is there a trick to getting this c clamp out? I been playing with it for forty minutes and it just keeps spinning on me. do I have to have a magnet to pull it out?

Try using a plastic mallet on the end of axle to push it in further and make sure its in all the way. Then use a magnet or try to trap it using two screwdrivers. Keep with it.

Please let us know what you find so it will help others.
