Default help with putting together a 9" PLEASE

m trying to put this f'ing thing together and i cant figure out getting the axles all the way in. I have one in but now i cant figure out how the hell to start a bolt for the backing plate, the bots are through the flanges but the holes are so close to the housing i cannont get the nut to start on them, is there susposed to be a nut on the back because mine were not tapped, i dont get how this crap stays together
its a moser 9" btw
thank you for any help i really want to get this thing together
-Matt

Don't know if your having the same probs I was, but check out the post on DRIVER'S AXLE DOESN'T FIT. The backing plate holds the axles in.Make sure your bearings are pressed good.

I used a box wrench.Do you have T-bolts,or are you putting the OE bolt's in?There should be a hole in the axle hub to get a ratchet in.If anything take the parking brakes off to get in there.The nut should be facing toward the wheel.

your kit should have came with t bolts, they go in from the back side and the nuts go on the plates.
