I don't sorry. Its quite a little complex bit of alloy. If its gets done wrong it will catch the gear housing on the inside or the shaft won't pass through.
Have you contacted him about a different postal option? May be next day or something.
As mentioned above the drive shaft is most likely knackerd.
Majority of the time when the circlip goes it damages the shaft. Ive had the complete end ripped apart and spat into the box.
Take the shaft out and check its straight and true ,not twisted and non of the 3 roller things on the end...
Iirc the inner lip on the diff where the circlip sits normally gets damaged when it pops.
So it won't seat correctly, Get it spot welded in place with about 6 spots all the way round. But i would use the plate personaly, alot of people swear by welding the circlip though
I used a plate off ebay on my old mk1 which in essence bolts in place which eradicates the clip popping out.
Can't post a link because im on the phone. But type "clio renfort" into ebay ;)
Belts off job!! More hassle than its worth. Just get the colour you want in high temp spray can.
Remove inlet manifold and spray the paint into the cap and brush it on with a tiny artists brush. It leaves no brush marks at all as the paint sinks into the cast effect of the metal...
stretch the gaitor over the selctor shaft and do the same to refit it once the seal kit is fitted. you also keep the spring (don't bin it)
the u shaped part is for pressing the two half pieces in. the old seal needs to be popped out of position(i used a blunt 1 1/2 chisel to pry it down) tin...
