Default New centre shafts for TRF502X

Hi i was wondering if anyone had purchased the new blue shafts for the centre of their 502X. Ipurchased these and can't seem to get the small grubscrew to go into the hole that it should once i've fitted the pin into the drive cup that then goes into the gearbox. Do i need to purchase new cups that go into the gearbox?? Looking at Lee's car it looks like he's still using the black kit ones. I may be wrong.
Thanx in advance
Scotty....

hi.
I have installed the blue drive shafts with the black cups and initially had the same problem. This was fixed by initially screwing in the grub screw into the centre shafts (with enough space so the pin can still insert through), then inserting the shaft into the cup and then the pin through the both. I then tightened up the screw.

Any chance of writing a small step by step for this. Do you have to take the diff boxes out to change this? Ive got the shafts at home (delivered today) so want to get on with the job asap.

Any tips chaps?
