Ok,
I broke down a '79 front axle, cleaned it up and replaced all the seals and bearings. I am now trying to re-assemble it. I can get the short side inner axle and birf to go in, but I can't seem to get the long side to slide into place.
Am I missing something? Is there some trick to getting it to slide in?
I have the 3rd mounted and tightened up(not to torque spec). shouldn't it just slide in?
The long side will slide in untill the end of the birf(where it meets the inner axle) in just outside the face of the knuckle. It should slide a good 4" or so more.
Thanks
