    The prices were the same as it says in johns post.

    I've been trying for an hr to try and get a cup on with the spring behind it and there is no chance!

    May have to refit them without the springs

    Use a bar or something similar levered against the selector arm on one side. Don't use the washer that goes behind the circlip, you won't get the clip in if you do.
    Try the same on the other side, levering against something solid. Usually with the box off the car I use a stilson with a bolt through the hole in the end going into 1 of the mount holes as the point of leverage.
    Also, by adding the springs it'll give more support for the cups, so struggle to get them on.
    ( good 'ole quaife not putting threads in the stubs !)

    2 chunky bits of hard wood with threaded studs, nuts and washers may work? or 2 bits of steel with relief holes cut in for tool access

    I had seen that Brooke vw guide and tried using a pair of these for ages last night and they weren't strong enough for he last few mm needed. Unfortunately I have no giant g clamps like that.

    Plastic ones are great for wood lol not so good on hardwood fnaar fnaar!

    On a serious note, you'll need some good flat nose circlip pliers, or long nose pliers with the ends ground flat.
    The circlips can over stretch so make sure it's seated in the groove properly all the way around before putting the cap on.
    Oh, put some grease on the seal lips to help the cups slide in.

    Using VW parts you can make a tool.
    I used the stud from an early non self adjusting cambelt tensioner, along with an early slotted alternator tensioner bracket.
    Have done a lot of GB's sprung output cups with these parts

    Jon, do you mean bolting the stud into the stub axle?
    If so the quaife doesn't have an M10 thread in the middle.

    I couldn't get two of the monster G clamps around the cups so had to do it with one. I tightened it a bit then tapped the other side with a rubber mallet, then tightened some more and so on,

    And in :)

    And seals on

    The cups are solid now no movement :thumbup:

    Cheers for all your help guys, especially Mart and John

    Now to put the shafts back on, oil up the box and test drive

    There was some serious wear in the old cups then, I haven't seen slack like that before!
