    The Corse CV's have plunge at either end, if the shaft is to long or too short the cage and balls can move beyond their operating range and cause the joint to baulk or jam. I would expect the cage to be damaged.
    Yes, you can assemble and disassemble the CV's once they are off the shaft. There is a right way and a wrong way to reassemble them though, the grooves in the two halves need to opposed to each other to allow the CV to work as it should ie rotate and plunge. If you assemble them 1/6th of a turn out they will lock and not rotate.
    Wheel diameter should not be an issue unless the engine is mounted ridiculously low which I do not think it is. I think you need to check the distance between the flanges vs the length of the drive shaft with the CV's in their central position.

    Steve,
    Why are the spring seats at different heights, left to right?

    More weight on left (gearbox?).
    Thats what i needed to set them at for the same clearances in the arches.
