Were they the genuine or the aftermarket ones?
Usually the genuine ones break the cage like your 2nd pic, and the aftermarket copies shear the stub very neatly - like your 1st pic.
Looks like you need some longfield or ashcroft CVs!

What a bastard
I always run the stock RR ones and so far I've never broken one (broke the smaller 1-piece units in my 93 'Aquarangie' once).

I think the genuine ones are made by GKN (and may have it stamped/etched on the bell)
