Re: 8.5" rear spider gears problem.1982

The gears are the same as far as size like height width etc etc. J am thinking it may be due to a difference in thickness on the old to new thrust washers.I will see tomorrow.shaving will be the absolute last if at all an option.I would rather find wha is really causing bit.
But, would that little hair bit really cause that big of a strength difference for the c clip? I'm talking a hair on each axle as in if I rub medium grid sand paper on the ends like 5-8 strokes it'll fit .
Don't get me wring though, if it came down to that, and it would weaken any aspect of the axle I will not do it.
