I'm replacing my driver side half-shaft and I ran into a problem. When I bolted everything up and tried to manually spin the axle I couldn't. It's stuck. The tranny is in manual and the passenger side shaft turns. BTW, I have a B18A in a 89 CRX. When I loosen the axle nut the shaft turns a little easier, but not like it should. I've tried 2 half-shafts and still the same problem. I'm stumped. Anybody out there got any advice? TIA.

Is there an easier or proper way to install a shaft. I'm inserting the tranny side first, then the hub side. I think the problem may be somewhere in the hub or the axle not seating right in the hub. Any hints? TIA
