Default Flush Front Axel
Went to install my flush front axel and looks like you need to press the left side cap into the lower. Has anyone installed a flush axel and did you press the left cap in?

Simple, the left side cap presses flush when you tighten the nut.

I did a little light sanding to the knurls on the cap to get it started. The last 1/4" snugged up when I tightened the axle.

You can just tighten the main axle to pull the cap into thelower OR some kits come with a bolt that you use to do the same thing...

It's easy.

As Donny said, it'll flush right up for you and looks damn good.
