reinstalling d30 carrier

Hopefully someone can help me get this buttoned up before another weekend is gone! Did the drivers
Side axle seal and tapped the carrier back in with a dead blow hammer. Seemed like it was eated all the way, and even, but couldn't get the shafts back in. Torqued the bearing caps down and then the drivers side shaft went in, but not the passenger intermediate shaft (disco 87 Comanche). Over torqued a hit, tapped some more, cant get the passenger shaft to slip in. I will disclose that when pulling the carrier, at first i didn't have the intermediate shaft disengaged, and pried on it pretty good. I think the shaft is too beefy for me to have bent, I'm just racking my brain at this point. Should I pull and try to reinstalll? Any help would really be appreciated.
Thanks
