re-install axle trouble Posted by bobc [Email] ![]() ![]() ![]() |
Patient is a '99 base model with 220k mi. Patient presented with a torn inner boot, passenger side, with no other symptoms.
Replaced the boot with genuine Saab boot and regreased the tripod and a light coat of grease on the splines.
I am attempting to install the axle and I find it goes in about 1/2 inch and stops. I'm tapping on the axle to coax it in but it seems to not budge. And of course it wont come out easily either ... I've gotten it out and the splines look fine. Tried 2 more times with the same result.
am I missing something here? I hate to hit it very hard to try to seat it but I can if that's advisable.
