Heads up, Nissan's Snap Rings reversed in their Front Diff. Parts book drawing.
I damaged both the seal and the outer (larger snap ring) when I broke my passenger side Front Axle wheeling the Northern EXposure Run. Following the parts book I ordered the snap ring shown and a week later received the inside (smaller) snap ring. The parts bag was labeled clearly 00922-1400 and when searching on images for that part number, the images all showed the small ring with the plier holes to the outside - clearly not designed to snap into the housing. I then looked into where used and found the rings were used in the Patrol and it's drawing had the numbers reversed from the Xterra's. I ordered snap ring 00922-27500 and received the larger housing snap ring I wanted. The screw up cost me a week, luckily they are cheap and I don't mind putting the smaller $2 ring in inventory.
Now I just have to talk Jeff into letting me use some garage space for the install.
