Since this is my first time doing anything like this, I consider it a learning experience. Though it has put me on the bike for three months. Finally got a buddy of mine to come over and look at the issue. The first axle was correct, I went back to that one. The deal breaker is - it comes with this collar that doesn't work with my model. I removed that, and everything worked fine (one I got the gasket facing the right direction).
Now I can pull the tire off, the CV axle off, put it all back together in 45 minutes. For me, that is a true accomplishment, and gives me more confidence in doing other things. Though, I will be paying my buddy to just come and talk me through the hard bits so there isn't so much anguish.
