I have a 1946 Chevy Pickup and I have removed the front seal from the torque tube. It came out relatively easily. I am having trouble installing the "Okie" bushing. It will go in over the seal and stops around 2 inches in. I have tried using a 3 pound hammer and a block of wood but it will not go in any further. I have NOT hit it really hard yet but I gave it some pretty good whacks.

It is hard to see down the tube but I think that the bushing is hanging up on what look like threads on the bushing.

Help! Anyone that has a tip or guess, Please reply.
