All,
I need some help. I am a novice with a problem. I have an '80 Spitfire
that I rescued from an abusing PO. I rebuilt the rear axles, bearing,
bushings, brakes, hoses etc. this winter. However, on the first outing I
sheared the axle key on the passenger side. I think I did not have the hub
all the way onto the axle. I have obtained a second axle and hub to replace
the original. However, I can not get the hub to fit all the way on to the
axle. The hub fits on with about 3/16 to 1/4 inch gap before the
non-threaded portion of the axle is flush with the end of the hub.
The question is:
How do I get the hub all the way onto the axle?
I am sure that if I put it back together without the hub all the way on the
axle I will shear another axle key.
Please help,
Spit_Driver
