There are two possibilities I can think of.

1) Splines are the wrong size. (This can happen with cheap
remanufactured units.)
Go beat the auto parts store manager over the head with the thing.
Consider Raxles.com, or new / remanufactured axles from the local Honda
stealership. AFAIK, Honda rebuilds them right, and refurbs will work
nearly as well as new.

2) C clip out of spec.
Does it start to go in, then stop? The retaining clip diameter may be
too large. Remove the clip, and squeeze it slightly, tightening the
curve a little. Try again. If this works, be sure to give the axle a
tug after it is seated, to make sure the clip isn't too small now. If
the axle pulls out with ease, widen the clip slightly.
