I'm hoping someone has some words of wisdom and i'm just doing something wrong. I pulled the front diff in order to replace the cover. I only pulled the shafts at the diff, not the hubs. Everything went really smooth until I tried to re install the drivers side cv shaft into the diff. I CANNOT get it to go back in. It slides in to right at a 1" gap and won't go any further. I'm using straps to pull the hub up to get it as straight as possible, I've checked that the snap ring was installed correctly with the gap at the bottom several times. I've tried using a 2x2 piece of wood to pound it in and just broke the wood on the end. I also tried to pound it in using a 24" pry bar but still can't get it to go. The passenger side was no problem. I've taken out and re checked the snap ring orientation enough times that I damaged the oil seal and will have to replace it again, but hoping to figure out what I'm doing wrong before installing the seal. I've spent the last hour and a half searching, but not finding anyone else that had this much problem. Thanks for any help or advice...
