Birfield wont go in

IIRC, there are flat spots on the birfields. Make sure that they are lined up with the flat spots on the housing and they should slide right in, might have to wiggle it a little.
Edit: Disregard this. After picturing this in my head, I realized that the flat spots are just for slipping it past the knuckle ball and have nothing to do with aligning splines. My apologies for inaccurate info.

Typically I get another person to wiggle the front diff pinion or the dshaft if attached to wiggle the splines a bit while I try to put the axle in the splines. Seriously, sometimes you just gotta hold your mouth right.
If you are trying to put a birf on an axle shaft, hit it with your purse
