Hope this helps someone sometime . One suggestion was that I make a tool . Something like a 90* screw driver & use it through the rubber boot. Didn't think of that but will look into it next time . Another was to use twine in a loop threaded up through the hole in the swingarm . Tried a wire loop but couldn't make it work by myself . I tried the rubber plug but could not get enough of my stubby finger in there to do any good . Tried the shaft by it's self but was not strong enough to move the shaft around and if it did work I could not verify the input to the diff's grease seal was right . Several said that it is much easier if there is two pepole . I agree !!! I found that these steps worked on "my bike, today" 1: make sure the u-joint is pointing down 2: then put it into gear 2: install the swingarm 3: push the swingarm all the way down with the shocks disconected 4: slide in the pumpkin and the shaft as one unit 5: then slide in the wheel and test by hand for operation both in and out of gear 5: Keep your Kool it does take patience .
