Hi All,
I am stuck with a problem and need a meeting of the minds. I installed the rear axle into the car and then re-installed the rear axles with the same bearings that were on to begin with. I bought the rear end loose so I'm not sure if it had any issues prior or not. Of course when removing the axles I did not take notice if this was an existing problem so I'm not sure.
Drivers side slides right in and the axle flange to axle plate tightens up and all is good. On the passenger side though the bearing will go in only so far and then stops with it still sticking out of the race by a 1/16" or so. Cannot get it to go in further. No glaring material in the race that would stop it so I'm stumped. Anyone have any ideas as to what the problem may be????
I have attached some pics where you can see the bearing sitting not all the way in. When I tighten up the axle flange to axle plate bolts the axle gets tight and if I keep going it will no longer turn.
Thoughts??
