I almost can't take the siht i've gone through to get my rear brake job completed. Won't bore you with details. When I first started, the pass. side rim wouldn't clear the axle shaft flange. I needed to remove the shaft first. Of course in my excitement to finish this ordeal I slapped on both axles and buttoned it up. I know I can just remove the pass. axle shaft mount the tire loosely then slap the axle back in. What about if/when i get a flat? The rim is just barely and i mean barely catching on the axle flange. Any thoughts to why this may be? I've removed the rear tires in the past and they slid right off. bad wheel torque down? I can only go to 140lb so in the past i cheater barred it just a 1/4 turn more and called it good. any thoughts appreciated.
