    I took off my wheels from my 1982 seca 750 and when I took off the rear wheel I unbolted the diff case from the shaft drive tube. Now that I got new tires put on it I want to put it all back together and I CANNOT get the spline to line up right with the universal joint. HELP.

    Next time, remember that you don't need to pull the final drive to remove the wheel.

    Easy way to reinstal wheel is to put axel through the wheel and hub. Attach the nut and tighten and it will all come together easily.

    That wasn't his problem. He had removed the final drive from the swingarm.
    Your method is also a bit hard on the drive splines.
