(ET) front axle

[frank murphy <fmurphymeister gmail com>]

Hi

I just got my first et, an e12s.  I stripped everything off the frame for sanding and painting.  When I got to the cast I beam front axle I drove the center pin holding it to the frame.  It went half way ok then came to solid stop.  The sound of the hammering changed so that it sounds like it is hitting the frame cross piece.  Should I stop and just paint around the axle assembly?  Thanks
