having hard time putting driveshaft back in.

do i really have to use new snap rings? does the new one fit tight on the groove or is it rather loose just like old one.

do i need to hammer it in to fully insert after its half way in, or pushing it with muscle is doable? im rather weak lol.

hope thats not too confusing.

btw, when i remove the snap ring, i can push it in all the way easily.

thanks for the help.

should just push back in by hand man.. it will b tight but just make sure the splines line up and it will push right in...

twist abit and try push it back in, if it dont wanna go try turn the shaft abit and then try again till it goes in.... dont hammer the end of the shaft cos it may damage the CV...
