Hey Guys,
I am replacing the passenger side rear CV-Axle on my 4-bolt rear-end. I popped the axle out easily with a pry-bar. I replaced the seal, and went to install the new axle. It is a Surtrack brand I got from Rockauto. It was the only place I could get axles, and they are new. I measured the length, width, counted the splines, checked the ring, and lubed it with grease. I can slide the axle into the diff, and even seat the splines but I cannot get it snap/lock inside the diff. I have tried turning it, prying, and even used a rubber mallet but it refuses. I tried to install the original axle and its doing the same thing.
I have done the front passenger side already and it was pretty simple.
Any help appreciated
