I started a restoration project on my 44 A A couple months ago. After I got the rear wheels off I noticed a lot of play in the right axle. Figured the bearings where shot or possibly the nut came loose on the bull gear. After taking the rear cover off I tried to tighten the nut down to the manual recommended .001 - .004 end play. By the time I did that the hole for the cotter pin was past the castle nut. I then decided to just replace the bearings, seal, and felts. After reinstalling everything today about half of the hole is out past the castle nut. I triple checked everything I am not missing any parts. Does anyone have any ideas? I'm pretty sure the nut won't move but it just doesn't seem right.
