Front axle replacement
 

Folks,

Got the passenger side axle out today, and the new one kinda installed. I"m having issues getting the new axle to seat completely in the transfer case splines. I can feel where it's clicked into the first set of splines, and I believe is hung up on the snap ring inside of the t-case. Any suggestions for getting it in? I really dont' wanna pound the heck out of it with a sledge, unless that's the approved method.

Thanks!
