Hi,
I was busy rebuilding the rear axle diff lock slave, and moved the G with the slave removed. Now the diff lock sleeve inside the axle has moved

I think the image cut off the remainder of my post.
I tried jacking up both wheels and rotate them to get the diff lock pin hole visible again with no luck.
Any ideas how I fix this?
Thanks in advance.

Solved with the assistance of an old friend.
Take a small flat screwdriver and use the one edge point to rotate the tube until the hole is visible again. I also had to push the tube towards the diff a bit as it slided to the left.

... do you mean "long time friend" or "old friend"? Both are good!
