had the same issue with mine because the shaft wasnt in the box properly as they need a right good smack but i changed the circlip on the inner cv so it went it / out the box a bit better hope thin helps.

happened to me and after much pissing about it was the wrong shaft, too long so the ball joint would not fit. I was trying to put corsa shaft on an Nova

you change the circlip...to a new one

or do what i did and bend the circlip in slightly so it can get past the splines

well i went to the garage for a bit of help, the W****r hit the Inside of the cv and where the circlip sits he smashed it off, not happy wat to do now
