Driver Side...Rear Axle half shaft
hello,
Just did my driver side rear wheel bearing...and for some reason the axle doesn't seem to want to go back into the hub...can anyone tell me how easily this should go back into the hub...and/or suggestions on what I should be doing to get the axle re-connected to the differential.

After doing that, give it a couple of thumps into the bearing until the threads come through and then you can GENTLY use the axle nut to pull it the rest of the way in.
