You guys ever seen someone twist the splines on a L.C. rear? I was replacing my broken welded spiders w/ a quick lock,(i know i'll break it, but i work at 4wheel parts, i can get it warrantied!) and i couldn't get the g.d. short side shaft back in, only to find out i twisted the frickin' splines!! I have been wheeling with and around toyotas for years and i've never seen one do that!
