Inner CV joint circlip - help! (was CV joint mixing)

[pag@hydrosphere.com (Pete Gotseff)]

Hi all,
	After compiling the recent discussions on CV joints I've tackled 
the boot replacement on my '88 non-Q80
	I've removed the right axle shaft (ruining a stuck ball joint) 
removed the inner CVJ and replaced the boot. I've mixed up the 
balls (people say that's OK) but when I pop the balls and cage 
together into the outer housing everything seems tight (not like the 
floppy outer CVJ). So two questions:
1) How tight is the inner CVJ supposed to "feel" (i.e. it is supposed 
to be "floppy" or "tight")  Seems if it goes together smoothly then 
thats the only way it can be assembled?
2) How do I get that outer ciclip on.  Bentley mentions a press to 
push the CVJ firm against the washer when seating the circlip.  Is 
there another way? 

Help. Need car to impress date.
