Mid-job on my rear axle shaft replacement on my 91X and the spider gears fell out. I was using my impact to try to pull the new wheel studs through the newly installed axle and it looks like the S-spring shifted a bit and the spider gears slipped out. I have the spacers and know which one was on the top and which was on the bottom and I'm really really hoping someone knows a trick to re-install these without dismantling the whole rear diff.
Clearly I'm an idiot for using the impact without the pin installed- but I'm outside and snow is coming my way and I'm in a pinch.
I'll take any suggestions
