I am replacing my driveshaft. I started by installing the front end and made sure the ring is holding but the rear end is missing 1/4" to slide in its place. I don't know how much and how I can push it in its place. Thanks. I don't know how much and how I can push the rear end (toward the front?) of the shaft.
