Well I'm glad you still have nice weather but you need to give us more of a clue about your clicking problem.

Several CIRcular spring CLIPs in the diff, which one are you referring to?

I had a clicking noise on a +2 years ago and the problem was a Rotoflex Bolt. It had worn the hole in one of the Diff Output Shaft Lugs. The only way to fix it was fit a new diff Output Shaft.
