Quick Coilover install Question...tech

I'm doing my front coilover install (stock off, Moton on) and have been wrestling with the fronts (backs done, super easy)...

In taking out the front strut (ball joint and tie rod ends loose, move hub forward, rotate strut back, down and out...) the inboard CV assembly popped out of the front diff. No dirt in nor on the 'wet part'. (Which is a shaft, splined section and circlip.) I bagged it to protect it.

Question: Just slide the splined end back in? (There is a circlip still in place)

Thanks

(PITA with only two hands....)

Yep just slides back in and clicks. I had to use a spring compressor to get the fronts out without taking the carrier off completely!

I had no choice, it kinda popped out.


(Did I mention I had the wrong camber plate on, and had to do it twice... F-ing PITA.)

This is one of those DIYs that you really need to just DIY to 'get'....

Moton Clubsport two way adjustable. I picked up the system JWGT2 was selling....

Tarett top plates, GT3 rear bar, tarett extended front drop links & tarett GT3/Moton rear links. (Discovered the hard way they have specific DLs for the motons.)
