Exclamation 8.8 rebuild HELP!

I really need some help figuring this out. I can not for the life of me get the cross pin in with the axles are in but with the axles out the pin goes in.


This is the farthest it will go in:
<a href="http://s822.photobucket.com/user/quincyj34/media/20161002_181306.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://i822.photobucket.com/albums/zz147/quincyj34/20161002_181306.jpg" border="0" alt=" photo 20161002_181306.jpg"/></a>





This is the bottom side where it is getting caught on the right side but I dont know why:
<a href="http://s822.photobucket.com/user/quincyj34/media/20161002_181411.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://i822.photobucket.com/albums/zz147/quincyj34/20161002_181411.jpg" border="0" alt=" photo 20161002_181411.jpg"/></a>

can some please help me figure this out.

Are you pulling the axles back out tight against the C-Clip?

You're sure the clutch pack clearances, etc.. and all that are correct? If so, have you just tried using a flat-head screwdriver to pull the pin into position?
