Hi, I have my new rear bearings in and was going to pull my wheel hubs in by using my CV joint stub axles. My CV axles are hooked to the trans and I have the stub axle through the inside of the bearing. I previously watched this video https://youtu.be/lnXdjTate5o and in it the guy uses his castle nut to put the stub axle through the inside of the bearing. Problem is my stub axle doesn’t come out through the inside of the bearing far enough to put the cast but on let alone the washer and the cast nut. Am I missing something?

Are the splines on your stubs and inside hub clean and free of rust and debris? I can easily slide mine in far enough by hand to grab at least 203 threads with the castle nut without the washer on. The turn the nut by hand to pull it far enough to add the washer. I haven't pulled them any farther because I'm waiting on new cv bolts to attach the axle first.

I have the car on blocks, maybe I should jack up the swing arm a little to make sure the stub axle is reaching out far enough? |
