Wilwood disc for 8 3/4 install problems.

so right now ,if you take the spacer out and slide the axle in, the snap ring doesn't bottom out? if the axles hit before the snap ring does, trim the axle ends. with the green bearings ,pre load and axle run out aren't a factor. It's easy with a cut off wheel

Yes if I put both axles in without spacing them out they will hit each other. That seems to be the problem. I guess wilwood should mention that. Snap ring should sandwich between housing flange and backing plate? That's why I was using the old retainers to space them out.
