One really stiff cv

So I took apart all 4 of my bus cvs and cleaned them out, I put them all back together and 3 of them seem to move around fine but the last one is really stiff and the inner part cant move at all. Is there more than one way these go back together?

Did you clock them correctly?

there not even on the axle, like with the rest of them the inner part moves around easily but with this one its completely stiff.

you can put them together wrong.
look at the ones that move fine and then at the one thats bound up
you should be able to see that you didnt line them up right.

line up the small lip with the large ect.

Ah that was it, thanks. Is it normal for the cvs to be a little bit stiff/ sticky without being greased?
