What are we doing wrong?

Did you install new seals? If so, are they both in as far as they are supposed to be. In the housing, measure from the flange to the seal. Should be the same on both sides. If not then wither the seal isn't seated inside where it needs to be, or, worse case, someone forgot to take out the old seal before installing the new one. Ask me how I know!!!

that's funny. thats exactly what happened to me but i pulled out the extra seal and fixed that problem but the axle still wont go in all of the way.

Thanks for all of your help guys, we will go see what we can do about that thrust button and I'll keep you guys posted about what happens. Thanks again.
