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.
