So near, so far....the hub guts seem to bottom out just short of letting the snap ring decompress...feels like it's bottoming out...but can't figure out on what....so close but so far...not sure how something so simple can be so hard. :popc1:
Let me know when convenient and I'll call for moral support...:drinkbud:

Pull the shaft a little and wow, everything fits.....
Now to get the calipers back on, get the brakes bled when the son comes home from work....maybe a few little odds and ends tomorrow....then inspection on Monday and we're "on the road again"!!:biggthumpup:
Thanks to everybody for suggestions and moral support....:notworthy:
