Default Oop's, how bad?

So I decided to change my pinion seal in the rear diff because I had a slow leak. While I was doing that I planeed to replace the yoke and the bearings. Unfortunately I couldn't get the damn yoke nut off and in the process I spun the back wheels and have no idea there original place in relation to the driveshaft. I have rented a high torque air impact to try and get the nut off but the question is when I put the new yoke on do I just attach it to the driveshaft or do I have to find "the right" alignement in relation to the back wheels?
thanks

All that matter is the drive line is center in the yoke. If it isnt you will know cause one hell of a vibration

U-joint orientation is all that matters. Just make sure you have your driveline centered.
