axle end play, axles fit tight!

[BarryV]

Hi all,

I have a 1970 (early) corporate 12-bolt rear end, and upgraded with some Moser 3065GMT5 (5 lug) axles.

The pin that goes through the carrier and keeps the axles from moving inward (and holds two of the differential gears in) went in snugly.

Define snugly? I had to tap it in with a rubber mallet.

Now there is zero end play in the axles. The axle ends rub on the pin.

Should I disassemble and have a small amount machined off the ends of the axles, or will they loosen up?
