I'm swapping my rubber uni joints over to pot joints and I've run into a few problems.
Is there meant to be a circlip holding the pot joint to the diff ouput shaft?
Is the driveshaft just resting in the outer cv or is there a circlip there? I need to reuse my cvs so don't want to have to hammer them off the old shafts.
Cheers,
Joe

Yes Joe, circlips on both the inner axle for the pot joints,,, & the outer end of the main axle for the outer cv joints to clip onto as well

Thanks Matt, I did manage to get the outer cv ones on and I'm pretty sure I invented a few new swear words. Going to go back later to do the inner joints.
