Vitara Diff in a Jimny (front) Axle?

Have you still got the original CVs?

Might be worth measuring the new against the old?...

How did you get on Nick?

My driver's-side (square-washer and circlip) slipped in just as easy as the passenger-side...

Hi Dave, i still had no joy with fitting the circlip,i can pull the shaft out enough to hear it knock up against the hub or so called to fit the circlip on.so i haven't over greased it. james (j999pre) is going to send me some more in the post. as mine are not in very good shapes from previous owner which i'm hoping thats the problem. but if still no joy it looks like i will have to have the square washes machined down or thinner circlips. i will keep you posted. Thanks Nick
