Can't get my dana axles to adjust correctly. - 06/05/12 02:38 AM

I just replaced the axle bearings on my b-body dana. Trying to seat the axles I can only get the passenger side to Preload. No matter how tight it seems I get it, the driver side still has a bunch of play. Somebody help please.

Make sure the end play device is still in the block inside the posi

I have seen them stick to the end of the axles and fall off out of the rear end

Thanks Cab,
I looked at that today and the block is there. Is there another device that goes inside it? What does it look like? I rotate the adjuster clockwise until there is no play. But I can't get it to start pushing the drivers side. The block doesn't seem like it wants to move inside the powerlok unit.

Just looked up in the tech index how it works.

Update- The thrust button is gone.

. Looks like next I gotta find one.

Dr. Diff hooked me up with a new set.
