Yea, that's a great writeup. If you're looking for specifics on getting them popped in, I find a good way to do it is to get under the car so your head is right under the transmission and your feet are hanging out to the the side of the car from underneath. Then grip the axle's inner joint around the metal part closest to the tranmission and put your other hand further down the axle to guide it. Then just spin it around and "fine tune" it a bit until you feel it slide into the grooves and then POP it in with one quick, sharp movement. Works every time for me.

ohhhhhhhhhhhh. thanks fragmare.. I had the axle in about half way but I couldnt seem to get it to pop all the way through I wasnt sure if it was stuck or was jammin something but now I know all I need to do is to give it a little push strength to lock it in place. Thanks

I don't recommend beating on a vital component like the tranny using any kind of hammer and 2x4. If your having to do that, your doing something wrong!
