Quick axle install help.....

I finally got around to rebuilding my driver side knuckle, and it's been smooth sailing until I get to installing the axle.

I have tried all I know to get that sucker in there and just can't get it lined up.
Short side was easy. Flats top and bottom. Yada yada...

someone please tell me how to get this done.

Thanks.

By the way, I have noone to help me (such as rotating the pinion or what not).

Really? 78 views and nothin'? Well I WAS hoping to drive it this afternoon. Lol.
Guess not. Can't find anything online. Every "example" is of the short pass side.

Got it. I ended up loosening the top and bottom knuckle bearings to get some play with it.
