Need help: CV drive axle install

I'm replacing my axles for the first time and basically stuck at the part where you're installing the axle into the tranny. It goes in but not as far as how it was when the original one was there. I've tried taken it out, and turning and putting it in again but it still don't want to go in all the way. I even put grease at the ends. Fucken shit, it started raining! So anyone got any suggestions? Thanks.

When you push it in and it stops, but not far enough in,
Tap the wheel end of the axle with a 2 X 4.

If it feels like it has bottomed out, but isn't in far enough,
rotate it a tiny amount and tap it again, rotate and tap until the splines line up, both on the axle and the transmission.-Bob

Thx guys, finally got it in. I used the hub to shove it in by putting in the hub side of the axle first. It shouldn't be a problem next time when I need to replace one.
