same on my w reg focus 2l.
i located the shaft in the diff, pushed on the outer cv to 'compress' the shaft (gets rid of the end float in the cv and tripod joints) and with it all in line a tapped on the end with a wooden mallet to shock it enough to compress the clip. worked fine for me but to be honest would prob have been easier (less taps) with a rubber mallet!

PassionFord Post Whore!!
Have you put the other end of the shaft on the hub and used the weight of the hub/strut to push it in?
Take it you've changed the engine in the MK7 like you were asking on ther other thread?
