With the thrust block in, once the axles were tightened against the backing plates, you could not turn the wheels. While driving the rear end would whine horribly.
lived with it for as long as I could and decided to have the block removed.

The axles were completely installed and the car was running prior to the removal of the thrust block..
Guess I should have put that out there in the beginning. Had the thrust block removed because rear end was whining from the thrust block not being removed when I went to green bearings.
Bruce
Will have to try this..
Had to do this once before on the left side but guess I got lucky with the right ..
Car is older than the kid that removed the thrust block, so maybe he did not know to align the inners.
Thanks 72blu... I appreciate it..
Will update on Monday if this works..
