9: use the large screw driver/pry bar to pop the axle out.
10: line the new axle up with the diff splines and push it(once lined you need to give it a good push in to get it set in)
11: line up the outer splines with the hub and push it in far enough to have 1" of thread exposed(use jack stand to help support axle while you line it up)
