Axle won't go in far enough

Thanks Badsport. I guess my main question is should there be a little axle end play on both sides? Because I can't seem to get any end play out of the adjusting side no matter what I do. Yes, I did pack the bearings with Mobile 1 sythentic grease before installing. I see what you're saying about the resistance when you put the wheel and tire on there it just felt like too much. I forgot to mention the SG is a 741 with 3.91 gears.
