Having a problem with the installation of my axles. Pulled axles and was going to install new gears and rear disc brakes. Installed green bearings and mocked axles in empty housing to make brackets for brake lines and fit rear discs. Axles installed with no problems. After installing new gears, I replaced differential and the axles will go in, but not all the way, they are a 1/4" too short on both sides. They mesh with gears and will turn the yoke. I tried a rubber mallet, but axle will not move any further. The buttons inside the housing were removed, so I know those aren't the problem. Would the rubber O ring on the green bearings hold them from going all the way in? I'm going to set them outside tonight, because it is going to be freezing here to see if they will contract enough to try and fit them. Any other ideas? Thanks
