Pressed new ball joints on my 1985 k20 today. Now i have run into a problem. The locking hub mechanism will not fit back into the hub. Is there a trick to this because I have messed with it for a little over an hour :mad:. Also, the two nuts the hold the hub to the axle, does the nut with the pin go on first or last also. There is a washer with holes that goes between the two. I am just wanting to make sure i put everything back the way it is supposed to. Thanks.
 
The one with the pin goes back on last, one with the little holes goes in between I believe
 
Not sure on the locking hub, sometimes you have to turn the axle a little to get everything lined up properly. On the spindle nut I have always placed the one with the pin on it in first facing out of course, then the washer with the holes which almost never lines up on the first try and the second nut.
