When you find out, let me know the answer. Because I'm getting ready to change out my needle bearings with the bushing..

To keep the c clip/snap centered, I had to apply wheel bearing grease to the splines. Then, I put the axle nut on and inserted it into the differential. Finally, I used a dead blow mallet to hit the end of the axle, while keeping it compressed. After that it’s was a breeze putting it back together.
