After cleaning the spline and removing the nib the joint slides together nicely.
Next problem. Checking on Youtube videos for tips, I find there are several assembly directions. The original which I am replacing had the large diameter metal shroud over the female spline. Some videos show it the other direction.
Does it matter?
The rubber dust cover sits on the male spline I am sure (but I could do with a new one which ebay isn't obliging with).
The two metal covers supplied with the housing are different from the originals. They can be fitted "pointing" outwards or inwards. Should they rotate with the shafts or be lodged in the housing?
I have looked in vain for exploded view diagrams.
