Default GPM Knuckles Binding

I bought some GPM knuckles and when fitting them I have found that the stub axle doesn't go through the knuckle far enough to allow the hex pin to go through the hole. See pic below. It is like this on both sides (both knuckles) and I have checked that the bearings are seated properly in the knuckle. It is close and with force I can get the pin through however, this causes a lot of pressure / binding of the pin on the outer bearing / knuckle and this binding makes it very difficult to turn the wheel.
Thoughts??

Send 'em back, that definitely is wrong. You need to invest in some universals also.

Did those stub shafts come out of an AR60 axle?
You haven't been stoodged with a set of SCX10 shafts?
How long are they over all, Wraith are 39mm & SCX10 are only 35mm.

Well that is weird & no doubt annoying.
Not much to do but email GPM & wherever you got them from with pics showing their foul up.
