[QUOTE="greg brillus, post: 35324, member: 597"] Are the spindles you are fitting the same thickness over their total length or do they have a small step about 20mm from the inboard end, in other words...you could be installing oversize spindles without realising it, which would explain what you are describing. If you have the case at @ 200 celcius they shouldn't be that tight to install. Should also use a piece of tube machined to the correct length and slipped over the spindle to act as a limit stop whilst using washers as packers and a plain 5/16 BSF nut just proud of the end of the spindle so as not to hit the end of it...then tap the spindle into it's hole....once they are home you don't want to be adjusting them again soon....cheers....Greg.
