in many locales there are truck or drivetrain fabricators that specialize in rebuilding,fabricating and balancing all kinds of driveshafts.

I now have the part but am having trouble getting it in, it's seems just to bit, do I just have to muscle it in? I put the front side in first, I tried the back ( t case) first but it seemed like it would be easier the other way. Any tips.? I feel like I will be able to get it eventually just wondering if there's a easier way
