    I think the other fix would be to go back to drum brake seals and put a spacer behind the bearing cup in the diff housing which would get rid of the end float and also position the axle out further.
    That could have been what I did! lol. Im a machinist by trade. So if I did have to do that it would have taken me 5min work. Hence the lack of memory for it.

    What axles you using? drum or disc? as they are different.

    I assumed they were the right axles as I bought the diff a couple of years ago with these brakes already on it. Just had the diff rebuilt and finding this problem as I'm fitting the brakes
    What's the difference between the axles for drum and disc?
