Suggest you take high-resolution photos of the hub and mating side of the wheel from several angles and post.

Pictures are worth a thousand words, as they say.

As I recall, having seen it done watching someone else, there is a bit of a trick to it.
 
I put the trans in gear makes it easier to align the splines.Then just wiggle the wheel and it should slide on completely.

I m taking a break on it. Goes on but not completely home in the level gar cover. About 1/2 inch out. Wiggled the hell out of it . Watched the you tube. Read the thread where he got a new spacer.

Back at it tomorrow evening. Just won't go in far enough.....it's engaging teeth. Just not all the way
 
Take a Pic if you can - that would be most helpful
 
on the next try
try to put the wheel on with out the bolt and if it goes on all the way then u can install the bolt and spacer.

Make sure your exhaust system doesn't have a clamp interfering. That happened to me....could get the wheel off, but had to reposition the clamp to get it back on.

Well it's on....


Picked back up tonight. The spacer seems to have been shrunk overnight and went in. The whole time I think I was "home" in the shaft drive.

Issue was I couldn't get spacer by the screen holding the abs ring on last night. It still looks centered and brake slide in fine over the rotor. Looks great. I was fighting myself and am glad I did t pry or go to far pissed yesterday.

Thanks to the fellas that called or replied in my time of need.
