For those who have done the Dana 35 with 44 outer conversion I need help. I'm about to pull my hair out!
So I reemed the passenger beam and placed the axle, spindle, hub and locking hubs with no issues! But the driver side beam is giving me some problems. I can place the axle, spindle, and hub but when I try to install the warn locking hub it will not push past a certain point. I think I have the problem narrowed down to the axle shaft pressing hard to one side (bottom) of the spindle. The axel end is not centered in the spindle and has absolutely no give.
I'm thinking that the axle is still not centered in the knuckle. But I do not feel comfortable to reem any further than I have. Also I think the lower ball joint is out of room to reem any further.
Any advice here?
