I just replaced rotors and wheel bearing now I'm trying to fit these manual GQ hubs to my GU.
I have the spacer ring inserted all the way into the wheel hub and with the bushing ring and drive gear fitted I cant see the groove for the snap ring and the end of the axle...I think its a matter of 2 or 3 mm from being exposed..any ideas.

Yep you have a seal in backwards. Strip it all out. I bet the brass bush on the CV is on backwards

The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever. WARNING: Towballs used for recoveries can, and do kill people and damage property.
... not 100% sure what you mean but if it is what I think your getting at;
Just check that the axle hasn't "floated' back in a couple of mm.
IE can you pull the axle forward enough to expose the circlip groove?
Dolphins are so smart that within a few weeks of captivity, they can train people to stand on the very edge of the pool and throw them fish.
Take everything off that you have put on. There is a brass bush which is the last thing on the axle which may be in the wrong way. This is a common problem. Something will be in wrong or not seated right. As ET stated grab a pair of multi grips And pull the end of the axle out as hard as you can.

I just found if I remove that copper washer the steel washer and the clip from the inside groove I can put it all together with new clip on the outside groove of the axle(first pic). The middle pic are the two washes and clip I removed from the inside groove. Last pic on the right is axle with washes and clip removed.

Well think I found my answer...on another forum there was a fella doing same thing as me, he was told those washes(shims) are for the auto hubs only and to just use the outside groove for the cir clip..thanks for everyone's help much appreciated.
