reinstalling spider gears with a limited slip

is there some trick to reinstalling the spider gears in a limited slip differential?

I had a friend helping me replace the wheel bearings and he removed the spider gears to get the c clips out. We got the bearings changed and everything, but now we can't get the top and bottom spider gears in. Has any one done this and if so how?

thanks. I will have to see what I can figure out. I am thinking the threaded rod to spread the side gears will work

this is going to be a pain since the axle is still in the vehicle.
