So after looking carefully at my front axle, I realized that I will have to shave some metal off the circle area which protects the gear oil drainage nut. I must have landed the axle pumpking on a rock hard enough to dent the circle lip which now makes it tuff for the socket to sit on the nut..

Any tips on how I can do this? Shave enough metal to clear the way?
