Well, I measured the shafts again, They are the same. No matter, I have both of them put back together. and my problem is that the CV end of it wont move at all....... when I pull the cage and the balls out and put them in the outer ring. everything moves like it should, (like a CV joint) when I put it all back on to the main shaft it is all bound up. Nothing is moving in any direction.

I think that is the real problem here, if I could get the CV end to free up and move like its supposed to I could manipulate the CV end enough to get it it slide into the transfer case end of things. This would give me the 1/4 inch I need to get the U joint in place. Now even the shaft I took out of the ranger wont go back in because of the binding on the CV end.

Does this need to be put together in some special order??
