I can not put my Stock axles on. Because after shimming the diffs up the one side the Stub axle supplied with the kit is not long enough. I would not be able to get the Pin screw through the stub. Its off by half a hole.
So what are my options now?

Is there any material that you can remove from the end of the stock drive shafts to line up the drive shaft and stub axle holes properly whilst maintaining its structural rigidity?
I have also sheared a drive pin, on a savage dogbone, and was able to press the rest of the broken pin out in a vice with a small socket set piece and a small screw. I then replaced it, and red threadlocked it in place, with a pin that I had spare lying around in another broken dogbone. I guess a drill bit would also work if you have no broken shafts to test and the pin, in my case at least, was an 1/8th of an inch but could be 3mm.
You can do that and buy a replacement drive cup and then you should be good to go again.
Also would you be able to reshim the diff, putting all the shims on the other side, to make the output stub axle stick out that extra little bit?
Hope this helps
