OK, thanks to the help on IH8mud, I've got my 78 knuckles rebuilt, complete with new studs/washers/cones. Preload is set at 10lbs, and the felt/rubber/metal rings are in place.
Now I'm trying to get the right side axle shaft in and it won't go all the way. I've gotten past the flat spot on the birfield, and it feels like it's not engaging on the diff end. I've tried rotating the drive shaft a little to get the splines to match, but no luck so far. I don't want to booger up my new axle seal either.
Am I missing something???
