Not sure what you mean.

Do you mean you can't get the bearing hub to slide off the splines? Is it loose from the knuckle?

Hi No I have it apart when assembling... the spline will not go in enough to grab the treads to pull it in.. im looking for a install tool

Take the hub off, grease the splines (if you haven't done so already), insert the axel into the hub (you'll have more play with the axel through the knuckle) and start the hub nut, then install the hub to the knuckle. Then torque it all down.
