    Evening all.
    My elderly Focus decided to kill a CV joint over Christmas. Luckily I'd got a good but dirty replacement, and in a moment of madness I took it apart to get it clean. The question is how the [xxx] do you get them together again?
    Thanks in advance, and Happy New Year regardless :)

    Blimey, rather more force required than I have been using.

    And it was done!

    For anyone else reading this, you need a hammer, and do one ball then the one opposite, then any other ball and its opposite etc

    Thanks for the prompt help :)
