Keep at it. Getting them in and out required a little creativity and brute strength. End result is well worth it.

If you didn't disconnect the spring and/or put jackstands under the hubs when you took them out, putting them back is a major PIA (been there, done that). I ended up jacking the rear part of the hub so that it would tilt enough to get the upper arm back in. Don't remember what I had to do to get the lower back though. For the other side, I measured the distance between the mounting points of the spring bolt & disconnected the spring from that side. The hub is easy to move then. Good luck.
