Default Rear hub question
Hi
The rear hub on a 2WD sapphire
The two pieces that go through the bearings which are splined
Are the splines tapered
Mine goes half way and gets tight
All splines are spotless
Thanks

I’m quite sure they are not tapered, but the tolerances are very tight so it might be difficult to slide it on. Most times I need a hammer to gently tap it on.
