Help; C5z diff installing c6z output shafts
I am in the middle of changing out both output shafts on my c5z diff. I broke the common LH. I bought c6z LH and RH to do both. I am in the middle of installing the RH output shaft. The original design from the c5z is a 1 piece and the c6z is a 2 piece with a snap ring. When installing the RH I noticed the c6z sticks out further causing issues with getting the spider gear shaft back in because it contacting the end of the shaft
am I doing something wrong? What am I missing.
thanks

Not sure what you got and haven't swapped mine. This might be required?
