Just be careful inserting the new shafts, you have to "feel" the shaft into the seal. don't just slide it in, once you're past the seal a little turn to align the splines and it will finish sliding in, you should be fine.

Old axles are out! I decided to do ball joints and unit bearing while everything was apart. Does any one have a ball joint press I could borrow?
I missed the event yesterday (9/12). Many thanks to Magnun Opus for offering me a ride-a-long. I hope to get my new wheels/tires and have everything buttoned up for the 27th.

Last resort you can rent one from the auto part store, and the best is that you get all the money back when you return it!

@98XJ awesome idea! Went to advanced auto yesterday and used their loaner tool. New axle u-joints are installed!
