How does a front drive shaft compression spring work?
Easiest way to get that in is to put the end in the motor first then slide the differential in and rotate the shaft until the splines are lined up. It is a pain to get them lined up but you have to make sure they are and with that spring there it’s going to have some pressure but the holes should line up.

Is the front drive shaft in the diff?
It’s just a pain. If you have the drive shaft the right way then try puting it in the diff. first and slide it all in together if you can so you know that the shaft is in the diff. good. You might not have the room to get it all in together. It sounds like you are on the right track. It should go in there. Coy, Motorcycle Mechanic

Where is the compression spring on a Grizzly 660?
I’m replacing the front drive shaft on a 2003 grizzly 660. There is a compression spring that goes in between the end of the drive shaft and the coupling on the front differential. I’m having trouble lining all this up so I can install the bolts on the differential.

Where does the drive shaft go on a Grizzly 660?
The drive shaft has a small hole on one side that a spring fits into, and a larger hole on the other end that fits around the large nut inside the front diff. The diagram shows the spring side of the shaft going into the front differential and the larger hole side going into the motor.
