Awesome thanks so much for that. As above I'm under car now. Bolts very tight. Shaft seems to flex as informing. Is it ok to keep forcing them?

Yeah, The bolts will be locktighted on. Make sure your spanner/socket is a good fit and lean on them, They will give in the end.

It's been fettled just a tad.

The end of the diff is flexing feels like it would snap if I pull any harder. Does it have to be in gear or anything
