Offroad-Express

I recently broke my factory rear locker so i am chucking an lsd in to get it on the road again but i am having troubles getting the right rear axle back in. It wont go all the way in, it needs to go in about another 10mm.

I know there are differences in length between the locker axle and the lsd axle but i thought the locker axle was slightly shorter so thought it would go in. Can anyone confim this or give me the length of a non locker axle to i can compare?

Im happy to cut the end off the axle if need be but want to make sure thats the reason it wont go in first.

can't help with advice for the axle, but I broke my rear factory locker late last year, pulled it all apart and had it fixed by a professional gear maker, all up cost $200. She works as good as an airlocker now, ie instant on/off.

I was looking at getting it rebuilt but have spoken to a couple of guys and they dont seem to last that long, mine has snapped the dog teeth clean off. Ive broken this one only after about 6 months use. Im going to look at other options for a locker so just want the lsd at the moment to get me going again.
