8 3/4 sure grip axle problem

called the guy today and here is the steps he told me to do. 1 put the drive shaft on and put car in park,slide the axle into the tube,then with a 1/2 breaker bar in between the wheel studs keep turning the axle and it will eventually go into place? well I did as he said and it worked, sure beat the hell out of taking the center back off as I had to put it on by myself and did not want to do it again, thanks to all the posts and maybe this will help someone in the future.
12 years later and this just saved my a$$.
Thank you!
