Rolling finally! Needed a bit of room to work, so moved the lift forward out of the way and slid Barney over a bit. Lifted the rear with two 2x6s and a 1x6 under the center stand. Decided this might not a bad time to install the wiring for the taillight since once the wheel is in place, room to work is tight. Once that was done, I lubed the drive splines with some Permatex 5th Wheel Grease that Bruce Giller gave me. Usually it's a minor battle getting the wheel into place and keeping everything lined up to install the axle. But, this time everything went smoothly and no cussing was needed! :-) Somehow I'm missing one flat washer for the axle, so it's not tightened down yet, but everything else is in place securely.

Had a few minutes left before I quit for the evening, so made up the spark plug wires and installed them.
