It turned out to be wear on the spline and after proper preparations, the cassette went in no problem. My question to you experts is will the spline wear more with the new cassette as I ride hard with it and eventually ruin the splines? I am a bit worried about this as I do ride hard with big gears.
Thanks again Jur and Bruce for your priceless tips!
