Well me and a buddy pulled the rear end apart this morning, and put my new wheel studs in, I also went ahead and took the ABS gears off...

Well after I cleaned everything up, we slid them back in, and the gears are binding, not allowing us to push them back far enough to slide the steel block back in place, and put the 8mm bolt back in. We oiled it back up, thinking maybe thats what was wrong, but the axles still won't free spin. Its like its locked into posi mod. lol

Any idea's on how to fix this problem?

Its a TORSEN rear end. all stock.

sounds like maybe the posi gears got moved around or shifted inside the posi carrier causing it to bind up or not allow the axles to slide in.

do you remember if you guys had a hard time pulling the axles out?

I would take the axles back out.

And then first try putting in just the crosspin and locking bolt by hand.

If the posi gears out of wack you might have to gently tap the crosspin
to help put them back into alignment.

Hopefully this will help realign the posi gears and then the axles will go

back in ok the second time.

We tried taking the axles back out. But the gears won't slide over enough for us to get the C clip's out. We didn't have a hard time at getting the axles out.. And we lightly tapped the crosspin/block to get it in there. but no dice.

We also tried to lightly tap on the gear, outward towards the wheel hub area, and they don't want to budge either. There are four worm gears up top, and I think four down bottom, and I think they are all out of wack, and its jut being a pain in the ***. lol.

Any one else?

not to sound too obvious but try removing the abs sensors of the backing plates and try pushing in the axles again

hopefully that should give you the extra room you need to get the c clips out

then do what I said above with out the axles and retry

The ABS Sensors are allready out, we had to remove them in order to get to the c-clip's to remove them the first time.

Both axles are in with the c clip in place?

Is the cross pin also back in?

crazylane

Both axles are in with the c-clip's in place,

No on the cross pin, it won't go in, because the gears are still to close together, and we can get them to seperate far enough to slide it in..

I don't get it, it came out really smooth, but now that we are trying to put it back in, its being a pain in the ***. ha ha.

once you get the c-clips in, pull the axles back outwards..then the spider gears should move enough to get it back in...i had a similar problem not to long ago with mine.

That's what I was thinking.

If he already got the clips and the cross pin. Then everything should be fine unless maybe the 8mm bolt is not going in or lining up for some reason.

The C-clips are in, and we did pull the axles back outwords. but still won't have the room we need to try and put the pin in.

have you tried to move the gears apart..mine moved pretty freely. they should move enough to get the piece in there.

crazylane

iTrader: (19)

Yup tried that too. But they seem to be bound up in there with the worm gears.

I really don't want to have to take everything apart, just for this one simple little thing. ha ha, know what I mean??

have you tried turning the axles and seeing if they gears will move?

crazylane

iTrader: (19)

Axles will turn, but the gears wont move.

I know this is old, but I just ran into the same problem. What did you ever do to get the block to go back in? I cant get the worm gears to move & they seem to be in the way of allowing the block to drop back in. Any help is appreciated.
