So I had my hub apart to replace a bad grease seal, and I'm having some problems getting it back together.
Where the axle shafts sticks out past the spindle, there is a bearing and two washers that are held on by a snap ring. The snap ring sits in a groove in the splines in the shaft. Well, there isn't enough room to get the snap ring in.
ALso, the axle won't budge. I am completely baffled as to what is going on here. How is this possible? The spindle didn't move, and it's not like the axle shot back into the housing when I took the snap ring off.
Any solutions?
