My current rear axle is an IFS style so its wider. The rear has no brakes even though there is plenty of fluid going to it and Ive bled it over and over again. No luck, brake pedal to the floor and still able to hand turn my rear tires.

Bought some different shafts and drums from a friend because the drums on my current ones won't come off and the adjusters are frozen. I got the old axle out and tried to install the replacement one (off a 92) and it goes in all but 1/4 inch. Can I just use the studs on the backing plate to draw it in the last little bit? That didnt sound like the best idea at the time so i put my original shafts back in and still have no rear brakes.

The bearings on the replacment axles are flush with the retainer and it seems that is the problem with the axles going into the housing. What is the best way to get those bearings set in a little further? I dont have a shop press or a spare rear housing to make the SST for this project.

Thanks for any and all sugjestions!
