I really need some help anything is appreciated!!!!! I need to finish this tonight!!!

the drive shaft will extend. You need to loosen the nut behind the CSB.
Changing the LSD isnt going to change the length of your driveshaft.

*EDIT*

Nevermind.

[ediaz029]

what is the csb?

[ediaz029]

ok but there is no play with the drive shaft though we have those two bolts lose it just isnt moving

WD-40 might be your friend here.

but where I dont understand where I should be getting play from the drive shaft is completely extended where am I missing that it will move from

the big center collar nut behind the CSB or "center support bearing" ...aka that thing in the middle...it is threaded to the splined center section

Loosten that fucker and extend or lengthern the shft as needed

Installation is the reverse of removal. :)
