Looks like I have a hiccup here. After the Lockout hubs were installed and locked the axle is extremely hard to turn. Can't do it by hand only with a bar. I'm thinking the thrush washer behind spindle is Making it tight ? Other side works perfect

Didn't that have a power loc in it? Turn the driveshaft by hand and see what happens

No power loc. Driveshaft is off

So the problem was the after market inner shafts has a much thicker yoke and there was no clearance in the housing for it. I bit of grinding and it spins freely now

Also got the backs done today too
