Galaxy 1.9 Tdi Knocking Mk2

I replaced the shaft and stub today. All seemed to go very well. After i assembled everything i tried to spin the one wheel which was off the ground. It was very tough (not sure if it normally is?) i gave it some until it turned but with a scary clicking sound! I think it's coming from the inner cv joint, I think. I got it back down and slowly drove forward with a slight turn and the clicking was still there.

 

What could have gone wrong? Could I somehow have done something to the inner cv joint? I moved it around a lot trying to get the intermediate shaft into the stub.

 

I'm scared to drive it now but on't know what do next. Any advice please?

[Bigjeeze]

It sounds like the intermediate drive shaft I have done this twice on my car now - Once at 103k miles and the second at 200k ( I replaced it before it went!) I used the Polish kit this time.

That's the part I've just changed.

Something wrong, wheel should spin freely and definitely no clicking.

 

Looks as if youll have to strip it down and start again.
