Either make sure your emergency brake isn't engaged and you might need to use your jack to help line them up

Yeah, just pull out on the hub/spindle assembly until it slides in.

This. Once you get it lined up use a big ole Philips screwdriver if you have one to hold it in place till you slide the bolt through. Its what I did when I installed my 1LE suspension upgrade.

I didn't have any problem at all, just pulled up and out on the hub/spindle assembly and slid the bolt in. But then again Ive done suspension work since '93.
