Anyone have any good tips on installing the rear axles? I'm having issues with the driver side rear axle, since there is so much shit in the way. I dont want to have to drop the diff unless it's necessary.

I can't remove my knuckle cause the ball joint is seized. Thinking about dropping the exhaust to see if I can get more room to get the diff end back far enough for me to insert the knuckle end through the spline.

How did anyone else do this? It's a pain in the ass lol

dropping the exhaust will help. once thats been done you can wiggle it out. no need to take out diff.
