Well i pulled all the gears and everything to get ot my center diff. Everything came out like a breze. I got the diff out and left everything sit for a week while i got and found a new diff. Well the diff came in the mail today and when i tryied to install it the case of the diff does not come flush with the transmission case. It is just barely off. I dont know if there is suppose to be a gear you are to be in or what to fit the diff in right. I have tryied everything. The little bit being off is making the bolt on the diff hit the outside case. I am really stumped at what is making this happen. It almost seems like the third gear back is not set back far enough and in the way. Any help would be appreciated becasue me and the 3 other people that have looked at it have no clue. If pictures would help i can do that. Thanks!!!!
 
I figured out that when i bought my new diff case that it wasnt the right one. I ended up dremeling the inside of the old casing and putting the gears from the new one into the old casing. All is good now.
