Anyone else have a bitch of a time getting the antifade nut onto an axcalibar axle? I even broke out the dead blow hammer (soft one), and decided to disassemble it before all went horribly wrong. Wtf....?

Yup. That's what's got me perplexed.

Just spoke with LSR customer service, they said to box it up and send it back at their expense, and they'd have a look. According to the tech I spoke to, the antifade should be a slip fit, shouldn't require any persuasion/heat. Sounds like if they think there's an issue with the depth of the splines in the axle or locknut that they'll replace them. This is awesome of them.

Hmm I never had an issue with my LS Axel or LS lock nut. I did once have an issue with a LS sprocket hub. Turned out to be wear and tear. I have since stopped using LS lock nuts. Nothing wrong with them. I just feel there are better lock nuts out there. I now prefer Jensen lock nuts.

Very nice of LS to take a look at it for you
