Im in the middle of replacing upper and lower ball joints, and both CV axles, now, i've replaced CV's on multiple cars before and never had a problem.

im currently trying to get the drivers axle back into the diff, but it just wont go, usually they just push right in and click and bam done. but this *$#&@$ wont go back into the diff, am i doing something wrong here?


any help is appreciated, thanks in advance!

 

Sometimes it takes a few attempts to get the splines lined up, but when you do it will pop in.

EDIT: what year?

 

if you look at the part that goes into the houseing there is a little gap on the snap ring that is in there. you have to face that gap either up or down. i forgot its been like a year or so since i did one. but yeah once you line that gap up it usually goes right in. use a big plasic or rubber hammer and line it up and smack that sucker in there too

 

i got it in there, after i put the spindle back on however, i realized my local auto zone had given me ZR2 axles, either that, or this one was busted, its about 3" too long.....

so back to the store i go, thanks for the help though guys
