Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
Looks MUCH better! Well done. BDGRBoth output seals installed. I wasn't fortunate enough to own the HMMWV special seal driver, but a 2" PVC coupling worked great, and I had one handy. Assembly temporarily halted when the wife hollered chow time.

The inner joint is the "plunge" joint and should slide in and out a couple of inches. Is it stuck in the fully extended position?

I tried that earlier, still not enough clearance. FrustratingYeah, lower the hub. compress the halfshaft into the hub some. It may help to slide the inner end arounf the flange and bring it in from the top.
Went ahead and replaced both brake rotors since the old ones were scored and pitted

Halfshafts werent removed from the wheel sideDid you get the left and right halfshafts on the wrong side?
I'm thinking that would bind the shaft up. There is less than half an inch in/out movement on the plunger end of the half shaftBefore spending $$ on a new shaft, why dont you remove the upper ball joint, tip the hub out, bolt the halfshaft to the rotor, then put the nut and pin back on the upper ball joint? that wont cost you anything.
