    Ooh, ooh, ooh! I know this one! The chamfer on the new bushing is not wide enough to clear the radius on the axleshaft. It keeps the axleshaft from seating fully in the spindle:

    "The Amazing Dr. Vern"? I guess it has been a while since I followed Willys Tech...evidently I missed a promotion. I hope they raised your pay accordingly...;)

    Good to see you here Karl - 'bout time after we've referred so many people to your site...;)

    Thank you for the warm and fuzzy welcome. Of course, I only chimed in to help with the C-clip problem and didn't mean to hijack the thread. Therefore, if you guys feel inclined, I guess you'll probably want to start a whole 'nuther thread to say nice things about me...
