Trouble Inserting Axles

@lilcuda came by last night, aaaaannnnnnndddd.... the axles went in with the pry bar method.

I have been wrenching on Mopars since 1992. I've swapped many MANY center sections and have never encountered this. I guess I got lucky. But, I learned something in going through all of this, so that's good.

Thanks for all the input! And one more time thanks to Cass at Doctor Diff for working with me on this too.
