please delete - was installing differential extension tube onto clamshell?

[CharlieS]

I'm stuck unable to get the extension tube on my replacement diff. I am unable to get the splines on the shaft into the splines on the diff. Can you offer any guidance, tips or tricks? I can't find anything in a search on mud or the web.

Tried again and it dropped right in. ugh.

Mods please delete.
