Came across something while swapping out differential - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

I started taking apart my S13 differential yesterday to install my Kaaz 2 Way. After i removed the output shafts, i began to pull out the old oil seals. I tried using a screw driver to pull it out and when I looked inside, I found a circular spring.

I looked through a bunch of walkthroughs and even in my 1989-1990 FSM and I couldn't find anything in there about this piece.

Can anyone tell me what it's for? I bent it while trying to remove the seals when I wasn't looking inside the pumpkin. It was located between the seals and the side bearing adjustable washer.

i dont remember seeing a spring unless your talking about the ring spring thats in the seal, that came out because you ripped apart the old seal.
