MAZDA6 CV AXLE WON'T GO IN FIX!!!!

I tried for hours to try to get the aftermarket axle to go in. I removed the clip and the new spline slide right in. I tried heating up the ring to shrink it, no luck. I tried pounding on it. No luck. I put it in the assembly and made it level. I used the top of the knuckle as a leverage tool. Boom went right in. Hope this ends your frustration!!!

Life saver! I was working on a pathfinder and no other method worked but this one. A couple of taps got it right in! I'll never forget this trick after the fight I've had with this car lol

Frank I'll give you the secret, and everyone else. Position the circlip with the open end at the 12 o'clock position - once the splines mate up, it should slip right in by hand or maybe a gentle tap. Same thing coming apart - if it's giving you grief releasing just turn an 1/8 of a turn at a time and pull - once that clip is in the 12 o'clock open end up it will release!
