The circlip should be replaced with a new one all the time.
The outer diameter of a circlip should be 27(+0.4/0) mm [1.06(+0.16/0) in.] to be connected with the driveshaft.
Apply gear oil on the driveshaft splines and differential case contacting surface.
When installing the driveshaft to the transaxle case, take care not to damage the dust seal.
Before installing the driveshaft, set the opening side of the circlip facing downward.
After installation, check that the driveshaft cannot be removed by hand.
Position the convex side of the washer to face outside and install the nut and split pin.
Replace the self-locking nuts and split pin with new ones after removal.
