Default differential yokes (side)

I am having problems installing the side yokes in my differential, I am not sure how to install the yoke and snap ring into the differential. Its a tight fit and I am stuck can someone help?

Hi Fuzzy, did you take the yoke's out yourself or are you re-assembling someone else's teardown? The splined end may need a little attention with a small file to remove the burr from the splines, make sure the snap-ring groove will accept the new ring before you slide the yoke in. Your right, there's not much room to work inside the diff. case but with small long-nose pliars and small screwdrivers I was able to rotate the snap-ring to a point where I could snap it on by pushing straight in on it, good luck.

Well then, unless you've got the wrong parts it should go together quite well, just takes a little patience.
