    Keep rotating and shove it in, it’ll eventually go.

    Starting to hallucinate on the stress, no breakfast, and diff oil fumes that I've been brathig in for an hour now. Lol
    I got the inner cv back in. Time to reassemble the suspension.

    Is it okay to run to the store with low front diff oil? Should be alright as long as I'm in 2wd right?

    Did you put a new Diff seal on?

    Right on, if not much fluid came out you should be fine until you top up. Torque axle nut to spec.

    It leaked pretty steadily until I was about to put the bushing in. I'm pretty sure the spider gears in the front diff don't move at all while in 2wd so it seems like I don't need oil to cool/lubricate in my front diff while only in 2wd.
