All is well that ewnds well
SVXpert, no it is not at Haddon transimision. I do alomost all my own work.
Now for the end of the story. The front diff output shafts are held in the same way that Honda (sorry for bad language!) half shafts are held in. On the inner end of the 6" long shaft there is a groove about 1/8" from the end of the inner splined shaft. In the grove is a springy open ring, kind of like a circlip but just a springing wire that goes about 70% of the way around. The just "pop" in or out with a little pressure.
Once I got the half shaft out of the way I got the diff shaft in the hole in the spider gear with the splines engaged and one or two taps with a hammer and in it went.
NO HARM DONE, no differnt that changing those half shafts on my former Hondas.
Lesson learned: for me when I change a ball joint again I will tap out the roll pin from the inner CV joint and let it float so it does not pull out the diff shaft.
