It should push in and click into place. Make sure everything is aligned properly.

Joe, these are not like a conventional push in drive shaft, i will see if i have a manual and check the installation procedure, the L/H axle on these are a super pain in the **** to do.

we dropped the diff and everything is going alright now putting back together (if you have a bull bar on you need to remove it) the rest is easy
