I had to replace the knuckle on my 2014, driver/rear.

I'm having difficulty in seating the CV joint into the new knuckle, so I'm out here searching for suggestions. I've watched videos, but they're not entirely helpful as. 1> it works splendidly for them. 2> they have male axle ends, so that involves a nut whereas the Q5 it's a bolt.

I've pushed, pulled, prodded and so far, nothing. I'm considering finding a longer matching bolt and see if I can pull it in.

Any feasible suggestions are welcome.

Thanks.
