Qustion on axel install
So I am about 95% done on my engine swap but have a problem with geting my axels intstalled. I have swaped out an axel before when a CV boot ripped and it took forever because of this...
Is there a easy way to get the axel thought the fork?
I have tried smoothing out the fork with my die grinder but do nt want to take too much off.
any sujestions?
also when i got the new axel it was all extended in the boot and I can tell its not in right, any ideas on fixing this? I tried having someone hold it and pull it apart to twist it but that doesnt work well..
Is my only option to break the metal band and pull it apart and thus make it easy to install too?
Here is my old axel next to the new one that is all extended.

So you can't get that bolt out? I wouldn't suggest notching that fork. Put your purse down and break that ------- bolt loose. A big hammer, a wrench, a breaker bar, some penetrating lube, BAM! nothing should get in your way with those tools.
