Similarly, they either fall in OR you need to THUMP them with a sliding motion. Its more about linig the splines, your either bruising them or meshing them.
Plus, dont stretch the inner cv boot. Reason, the inner joint dislocates within the strech range of the boot.
The dog in the joint is 3 rollers ... 120degree spaced this can be slid back 120 degrees rotated (either way) .
Sounds ok - BUT as you attempt to drive off you will hear a bang as the ball cage shatters in the joint!
To see if you have it right, try to articulate the joint in your hands. this is where my memory is failing.. If good obviously it will flex and rotate flexed.
If 120deg out in the joint, it wont.

Not sure if it's the same thing, but I did out the car in gear (engine running) with front wheels removed and off the ground. Because the sharp angle of the suspension and of the axles in that situation, one or both my axles got some damage when they rotate. I not get some vibrations at speed which was not before. From my own experience, I would advise against running the engine/transmission with the wheels off the ground.
