what is the best way to install the entire rear end axle with diff/trans in your garage on the c5 corvette?

I rebuilt my transmission/diff and now me and my buddy are putting her back to 1 piece. however we cannot line up the bell housing of the torque tube to the transmission. We tried with the diff/trans on the ass end, and without, and again nothing will line up right. i have read about taking the whole torque tube down in order to install this ass end, but i do not want to do too much than necessary. if any 1 has any experience on this matter then please let me know something! thanks much

Try posting some pictures and we will see if we can help. What exactly is not lining up? Is the torque converter fully engaged in the trans?
