I'm replacing my front RH driveshaft/ cv assembly with a aftermarket repco unit and finding it very difficult to slide the new unit into the front diff housing. I think it could be resisting getting past the new snap ring on the axle splines, I've tried hitting it in with a hammer and punch but it doesn't seem to making any progress.
Is there a trick to slide in the new driveshaft or do I just have to hit harder until it starts to move in?
Thanks in advance
