chip, did you check to be sure the oring at the rear of the shaft was intact? they're often cut - Steve

I'm getting into foggy territory here, but I believe in addition to the splines on the hub, you also should pull the snap ring off and disassemble and lube some of the bushings inside.  It's been a few years since I've done it but I found the lube that was in there to be pretty dry and glad I pulled it apart.  This is on the wheel.

Thanks for the heads up Steve. I did take a look since you had mentioned it earlier in this thread. Luckily mine was ok. I did order a spare to have on hand though.
