Default GA clicking when motor running

Ok I’m re writing all this because attaching pics fails as a first time poster.

TLDR this time: Got my car out and fixed some broken wires/soldering. Runs great but “clicks” loudly moving forward and more so moving backwards. If I rotate the axels by hand together it sounds like I get the click once per rotation. I’m assuming it’s maybe a broken tooth on a gear in the differential. Sound right?
I bought a new motor so I assume I need to take the whole back end apart. I’m finding the compression rings ( bushings) don’t come off at all easily on the rear pivot shaft. If I knock this thing out as the instructions suggest in the book can I put it back in (presumably with new bushings)? The instructions also mention installing a “pivot shaft set” which I can’t find one when searching hornet stuff. Only a front set. Anyone have experience taking apart the whole back end on their GA? I’d love some advice.

great thread guys!
