I am TRYING to change out my axle bearings. I go the inner nut and outer nut loose, but I cant get the stop ring out! Is the outer nut supposed to move away from the ring to remove it?
It doesnt matter if i spin the outer nut in or out it never gets any closer or further from the stop ring. WTF? Now i can see axle splines starting to show next to the brake rotor. It seems to me its because the stop ring is in the way and i have unscrewed the outer nut so much that it is pulling on the axle. Does that make any sense? even if i screw the outer nut in till it gets tight it still doesnt clear the stop ring. HHHEEEEELLLLLPPPPPPPPP!!!!
Thanks, Judd
