So after much annoyance, I am here asking for help on the install. I was able to get everything out no problem, but when trying to install the new axle, I am getting stuck. I am using a brand new axle that I got from the auto parts store. I am able to get the thing in till the splines look like they are in, but can get it no further without a great amount of force. I was able to get it in most of the way, then the driver side axle popped out. There is still about a 1/4" between the axle and the transmission. My main questions are,. Should this have been so difficult? How much of a gap is there supposed to be between the axle and the trans? Anything else you guys can think of would be great.
Thanks
