I got my 12 bolt back from the shop after getting it completly redone, new posi,gears,bearings, ect.
I did not give them the new axles because they were out getting the hub turned down for a new Baer rear disc brake kit. I installed the axles , put in the new c-clips, but when I tried to install the pin it hits one of the axles. the other axle looks loke it has about a 1/16" of clearance, if I push hard enough I can barely get the pin to start to go in, but I know something is not exactly right. Should I pull the axle and shave a little of the end for clearance or is there something else I'm missing. The axle in question will not move any more from the pin.

Thanks!
Mike

Make sure the C-clip is seated in the side gear . Also check that the side gear is seated in the clutch pack . I would make sure you check everything before I cut the Axle .

I have had to remove a little material from the ends of axles before to get the c clips in. You probably shouldn't remove more than 1/16 inch. Be carefull when you do this. If you remove too much the c clips may not stay in place after the shaft is installed. You only need about .005 clearance.

Thanks for the help guys! I'll take just enough off.
