HELP! Real quick question about the axles.

Hey guys,

I am replacing the 3rd member on my GSL-SE this afternoon. Everything went smoothly until I went to put the axles back it.

They will not go back in, I have them in the slots and started hitting them back in. Ive gone from a rubber mallet to a small sledge hammer. And the outter seals/bearings whatever you want to call them are still almost half and inch out on either side.

Is that how they seat? I cant remember, and am trying to get this done tonight.

Thanks in advance for the help.

They shouldn't be that tight. I usually push them back in by hand.

I just figured out that all I really needed was the rubber mallet.

Oh well, I hadnt changed one in more than 5 years.

Thanks for the help!
