I just installed the Z32 uprights, along with the brakes on my S13 hatch and when I went to tighten down the axel nut, I realized I could not spin the hub or axel at all, it was really hard. When I loosened the nut, I was able too spin it. Any suggestion?

I've noticed from a few write ups also that people install the ebrake assembly and uprights THEN put the hub on, after the other stuff is bolted onto the chassis. The way I did it was I put the hub,ebrake assembly, and uprights all at one time. I dunno if that might be the issue?

Here are some pics of my setup.

Here's what I mean when I say people install the ebrake assembly then the hub. What I don't get is how do they install the Z32 hub because mine has the tabs as shown in the second picture which I got from here.
