Has anyone had any trouble with the axles not wanting to go all the way through the hub? I'm not talking about not fitting, but its about an inch short of me being able to get an axle nut on it. Would greatly appreciate any help!

The axle looks fine, It was an original hub that came off (car has 105,000 miles) the hub is a TIMKEN HA590315 which is the correct and well-tested hub it seems according to posts on here.
As I said I can get the axle into the hub but its just out of reach of being able to start threading the axle nut on. I tried to push it further but its not budging.
Has anyone tried heat, or a certain lube on the axle? How about raising up the suspension with a jack to shorten the axle span? Thanks! -Paul
