Couldn't get a slide hammer on so got a massive crow bar. I have no clue why it got stuck splines aren't terrible only guess is. It's a 30 spline instead of 28. The amount of wrong parts these auto parts stores give you. Is insane.
Wrong part or really bad quality. I've sworn to never buy Dorman parts ever again due to bad quality

They went together perfectly, coming out they did not. I did end up getting a refund not sure really what went on. My spider gear has no cracks that I can see teeth are good on it to. I'm new to working on differental stuff.
I'm not sure you can damage a spider ... you can damage a side gear, but you are saying you didn't damage a spider ......

Spider gears have the trunnion pin going through them.
Side gears have the axle splines.
