I know it is not a Chevelle. I was changing a front left axle seal in my sons 02 Sierra 1500 hd. I have done a few in the past but this time the retainer or snap ring that holds the stub axle in broke. I managed to retrieve the 2 pieces. First off I have to find a new retainer but was wondering if anyone has replaced 1 before. Wondering if I could put it on the stub axle and then push it into the housing hoping it all lines up and slips into the groove. Anyone gone through this before?

I found the retainer rings at a gm dealer. I installed it on the stub axle and was able to slide the axle in.
All is good again
