I am currently in the middle of changing my axle and it seems that the axle in too long. I am positive that it is the right axle. Is there a trick to get in back into the spindles on the opposite side of the transmission? I can't get it in the hole....anyone have any ideas

Should be able to pull the hub out as far as possible and slide that bish in.. Never had a problem and I've changed tons of axles.. I know you said you know which side belongs where but passenger side is shorter just in case...

Hey try droppin the lower control arm from the ball joint. You may need a
ball joint separator and you may mess up the plastic boot so get another ball joint.
Good luck
