But basically not matter how high I bring the diff I don't have enough room to put in the new axles. The new axles appear to be a tiny bit shorter than the old. I had to use a pry par to get the old ones out.
Anybody in the area can help out with this project? I would really appreciate it. |
I had the same issue when installing a new differential and axles. The axle end just wouldn't clear that last 1/4". What worked for me was to lower the differential, insert the axle ends at the hub, then raise the differential and bolt it in place.
