    Pulled drivers side axle to change axle seal, also did some rear brake work at the same time, was bleeding the brakes with the rear off the ground and noticed that in gear only the passenger wheel spins.

    Could I have messed something up sliding the axle back into the housing? The truck is driven on a usual basis and I parked it where it sits under its own power before starting to work on it.
