Hello,

How can I know "how far" to push the half shafts into the diff (rear axle)?

With the diff installed, the half shafts can go all the way in - meaning it will touch the inner axle of the planetary gears.

Looking the at photos with a diff disassembled we can clearly see the difference, please see attached photos.

It wont touch the gears once you've fitted the bearing & tightened the hub nut.
