I replaced the spindles because of bad grooves. I pressed in new races and bearings on hubs also. Installed spindle nuts and washer according to spec. with socket. I cant get snap ring on end of the axle shaft that holds locking hub assembly. I tried pulling out axle from center chunk. I took apart and reassembled axle nuts twice..Anyone have any ideas what to check.
