You'll need to remove the old shims from the inner ends of the old axles .

I too had the damned inner CV joint come loose whilst driving, I was dm,ned lucky that it fell apart as I was coasting to a stop light .

I searched lots of junkyards until I found original German annular axles and re booted them at home using the factory boot kits .
