Got it got it thanks for your post to get my brain moving. Removed drive shaft and tube. Found the problem key that locks the pinion to driveshaft came out of timing with notch in trust washer.

Thanks. I have not done anything inside the rear axle or drive shaft tube. The front hole in drive shaft is not center of the tube pin removal access holes it is closer to the axel. How can I get it to realign with the pin removal holes. Should I remove the pinion,tube,axel assembly?

Tried moving shaft with u joint removed. It does not budge either way in or out. Will rotate with wheel jacked up. Should it move in and out. How can I free it up? Thanks for trying to help.

Old u joint won't go back either, tried that.

Thanks....but have not replaced drive shaft since I took off the old u joint.

Removed engine last year. Replacing universal joint and cant get the pin hole to line up need drive shaft to move forward another 1/8 inch to line up pin. Help please. Old u joint won't go either.
