Everyone has been really helpful here. I am very appreciative. As far as following a path, this has been a long confusing nightmare. Who would have ever thought by inserting the passenger side axle first I'd throw the other side out of whack?! All I did was insert passenger side axle and rotate it while tightening the flange bolts down with a ratchet. Everyone kept talking about the thrust button being in the way. It just snowballed from there.
