I am rebuilding an axle from a 77 FJ40.
After putting everything back together, the locking hub inner gear sticks out about 1/16th" too far to fit the snap ring back on the birf.
Any tricks to seating the hub farther back to allow for the necessary space?
I followed FSM tightening the first spindle nut to seat the hub then loosening, but still sticks out a tad too far - Just barely
