Didn't work!

[The Masons]

There should be 1" - 1.25" of slack in your chain to allow for the movement 
of the rear suspension.  Are you sure you have all the shit along the rear 
axle in the right positions and orientation.  The diagram in the shop manual 
looked like one of those optical illusions to me (like the cube drawing). 
The only thing that doesn't matter is the direction the axle itself goes in.
