LSD - Clutch Packs- question. New clutch packs installed, axle will not rotate.
<hr style="color:#DDDDDD; background-color:#DDDDDD" size="1"> Good afternoon and thanks in advance.
2004 F-150, 4.6L, 4x4.
So i changed the rear diff clutch packs today...
I opened up rear end, removed the whole unit, pulled S-Spring, spider gears, changed clutch packs. Put everything else back where it was before. Slid the unit back in, axles, c-clips, all that.
Now axle will not rotate without a lot of effort, i mean alot. Is this normal? I don't feel like it is. What did I do wrong?

Update...
Just finished the job. I just tore everything back down and put it back together, and everything was fine. It should have taken me about 2 hrs without mistakes. Not sure what I did wrong the first time. Anyways, I'll put a full write up on here later. It was super easy. Anybody with some basic tools and mech skills definitely could save money by doing this one yourself. I forgot how nice it was to have a rear end that doesn't chatter.
