So in the confusion of the circlip flying off I didn't pay attention /take photos of which way round the tri lobe thing goes onto the driveshaft..

One side is definitely different to the other.. anyone know?

Yeah..ummm the other one is the same story in that I've taken it on and off and not realised that there's a difference between which way round it can slide on ::) ... I'll take some more photos when back home.

By the other one, do you mean the other driveshaft? (Which is what I meant).

Never mind... it hadn't dropped all the way round and can only go on one way to expose the groove for the circlip!
Thank you anyway!

Getting the circlip on is now proving "fun"
