Pulling Stub axle, Into bearings Options

[shane]

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?

Take a good stiff wire brush and scrub the inner splines of the hub until the shine (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) then grease them

Do the same with the stubs

Leave the inner CV unbolted until you have the outer splines all the way in.

It’s odd I jacked up my swing arm a bit just to make sure the stub axle face will sit flush with the inner bearing race and it does. But when I slide the wheel hub flush with the outer bearing race and push the two races together and against the face of the stub axle the splines aren’t even really close enough to come together yet and the thread on the stub axle is just flush with the wheel hub so I can start a castle nut to tighten it. I’m just going to chalk it up to one of those my car only things and use allthread a nut and some washers to pull the hub into the bearings and then hopefully I can still get my axles in without having to take the stub axle off my cv and mess up my paper gaskets. Thanks as usual for all the great help I’ll sure be glad when this (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ar15.gif) little bundle of joy is finally finished.
