By not fit what do you mean? Too long or too big a diameter?

Are you sure that the kit is the right one for your car?

Not wishing to criticise their kits, but pretty sure one of my customers bought his own kit to me a few months ago & his rear seal protector :) ( plastic tube) wouldn't fit either.
