How do I open the ring that looks like a key ring that slides over the cup that gets attached to the diff axle and coves the pin that holds the yoke to the rear cup? Thanks
 
Is it this one?

If so, throw it away. Here's my review that could have saved you money:

I'm not sure bud. It's hard to really tell but if this helps any I noticed some gpm axles are held on only with a set screw and some are attached to diff axles with set screw and a pan head screw through the inside center of the cup also and these are the ones I have

By the looks of your truck mine is not set up like yours at all. U got alot of stock plastic going on there. The only thing stock on mine is the motor. The rpm a-arms I've got on mine push the wheels out enough that I can't really buy any parts that are made for a 3s Big Rock V3. The gpm axles I've got are for a Typhoon 4s or 6s. I can't remember exactly which one but the center peice is longer. The drive shafts I've bought that are for my truck are to short now. Both ends that slide in the slide center peice are barely in .

No pan heads, just a set screw attached to the splined output shaft.. Hopefully yours are better balanced than mine were. Only thing worse you could have tried is the Hot Racing version. If you do end up replacing them, get the HD Arrma cvds. Honestly, I'm almost 2 years hard running with mine. They even survived a phase where I dropped in a BLX185/TP 4050 1900kv and ran 6s. More expensive than either HR or GPM cvds but worth it.

No as for that ring, pretend the shaft is a key and the ring is a keyring. Slip one endtowards the end (see pic)

Yeah. I still have them. Just don't use them
Once one end is off or on, you just "thread" it the rest of the way.
