Carl, there is no plug in the bottom, That was the first thing I checked, these have been machined 'blind' that is the problem with trying to press it out, you would have to drill/ mill a hole in the middle of the pot to get to the end of the shaft.

colin, that plug must have been put in post splining, the broach would have to pass well past the bottom and into the cv housing,

Carl's Right Colin, what are you thinking that is a plug and is obviously softer and could be easily pressed trough duuhhhh

There is no Plug Carl. as Colin said there Machined blind.  no mate, there is a plug in there, its solid plug rather than just a cap of thin metal. Looks like its softer than the joint too.
Perhaps there are 'blind' machined joints, but these are not those. On 26th Oct, 2004 TurboDave16v said:

I've seen those  well maybe not as long, but they were big and vertical rather than horizontal (I used to work in a well known Car Manufacturers Transmission plant The Nagel honing machines were hypnotic to watch And the Comau laser welder had a beautiful purple colour beam. I miss that place  )

I'm relieved that I wasn't cracking up when I said there was a plug/cap in there. |

Being trying to fit the drive shafts to my car. Drivers side went pretty much straight on, but the passenger side will not go on with any amount of brute force. Tried the passenger side on an old diff out of a box with no ring in the groove. Wouldn't go on at all and had to give the diff cage a good bashing to get it off again, even thought it wasn't on more than 3-4mm. Looks to me like the inside of the splined bit is too tight or the splines are the wrong shape/size.

If your engine is out of the car, maybe you can do what I had to with this engine , they where really stubborn specially the one I have the crow bar on in the photo, you need to keep turning the pot joint every 2 to 3 blows with the lump hammer, this allows the circlip to keep dropping in its groove until you get lucky, ignore the piece of wood I have propped the long bar with its just to take the photo, this worked for me after a bit of persistence..

Pulled off the other joint which came of as expected. Had a very crude measure of the two joints.

No, but I've had some used pot joint cups on both to seal it while I got the oil pressure checked. On 11th Feb, 2015 robert said:
