CV Joint Shaft Installation - Need Help

I am replacing the complete shafts on my 01 X5 4.4.
Shafts from local AA store $150 brand new with no core return. Drop-shipped from SC manufacturer.

I am doing the right side and everything went fine with the removal.
I am installing the new shaft and Bentley manual(page 311-3) says >>Push inner CV joint shaft into differential or bearing pedestal flange until locking circlip locks into place.<<
I am doing this and it will not go in. I have made sure that it is the correct shaft. Can I use a BFH? Is there an easier way of pushing it in?
