Re: Gear swap Axle troubles

I'd think that it is either a bur/bad spot on the end of the spline of the axle or on the side gear. It could be from a previous time when someone had the donor axle apart and forced the axle back into the side gear. Or rust in the side gear from sitting for years even though the housing was closed up.

77 C 30 dualie, 454, 4 speed with a 10 foot flatbed and hoist. It does the heavy work and hauls the projects around.
