So the fight continues. Today I have attempted:
- PB blasting and leaving all day
- Filing each and every spline on both the axel and the hub to make sure they were all clean.
- Used break cleaner to make sure the surface was nice and not greasy
- Added some lithium grease (just a bit from a spray can) to the spline and hub
- slid it in and banged on it with a mallet for 20 min
No go. I can slide it in easily up to the face of the wheel side of the hub and after considerable effort, I can get about a 1/4 inch further (if that) but not enough to get the bolt on to pull it the rest of the way through.
Any amazing ideas or am I on my own with this one?
