Anyone? There's bound to be someone on here that's had to do it to get them to fit properly.

The drivers side on mine fitted fine without any mods, there was enough plunge in the inner cv to take it.
The passengers side i think i only took about 5mm off. Took off the outer cv, chopped it down with the grinder and cut a new groove 5mm further in the splines with a 1mm cutting disc (very carefully, dont cut too deep!)
That was all it needed it was only a tad too long. Some people don't hafta cut them at all though i think it just depends how your engine sits in the bay
If you have access to a lathe it'd make a much neater job than a grinder tho

mines is the same as the above, removed the cv joint and sat it on a vice with a block of wood with a air grinder with 1ich blade and rolled the shaft and let the blade cut a new grove
