    Not enough to have a build thread.
    I didn't wail on it or anything, but when installing, I used a pry bar and a small hammer on that flange on the diff side of the halfshaft. It popped right it with a tap or two

    I've got a gap like that, as well as the leaky passenger side seal. I'll re seal it soon :thumbsup:
