Ok. Try this.

Using a tape measure, measure from the edge of the pin nearest the axle to the end of the driveshaft. Use mm for this measurement. I'm talking about the edge of the pin uppermost in the photo. (see my video if unsure) Discount the bulging of the head of the pin.

Now measure the length of the torque tube, from the face of the flange to the end of the bell. Again, use mm for this dimension.

The difference between the two measurements should be 70mm. The torque tube is 70mm longer than the driveshaft. This difference should be the same for any axle 35-48.

Check the dimension and report back.
