Your write-up is great, Paul. On your suggestion, I did go back and re-read it, and I see what you said about the shaft installing until it reached the studs on the hub, on left and right sides. With mine, I had no issue installing the left axle shaft all the way by hand, firmly against the hub. And on the right side, after I posted my initial question, I removed and reinstalled the right shaft and you can see from my above posts that it went most of the way onto the studs when the holes were indexed one way onto the studs, needing only light tapping with a dead blow hammer to go the rest of the way, but I could push it all the way when the holes were indexed differently, so I don't think I was having the same issue you were having. I guess time will tell...
