The ring snaps open on the other side of the female spline in the CV.
There is no groove in the CV joint, only on the drive shaft.

Thanx guys...got it sorted...whoever replaced the joint last time assembled it wrong, which is why it fell out so easily...put it together after hours of head scratching and its all good now....;)
