What combination of parts are you trying to use?
I"m guessing you're using the CRX knuckles, the Insight CV axles, right?
So the Insight's CV axles won't fit in the CRX's hubs, which was to be expected... have you disassembled the shaft yet, to see if any combination of the bearings/shaft will go together to get what you want?
If not, my only other suggestion is either custom axles (expensive) or a machinist to weld the Insight tranny side to your CRX's hub side. (Also expensive, but not usually so bad.)
If the Insight's hub splines are significantly smaller, you might also be able to have a machinist grind you up a slip-in adapter from the old CRX hub side splined ends (put another set of splines inside the CRX's splined ends).
If you have the Insight's hubs, take them and your CRX hubs to a machinist and have them pressed apart, then compare the hub's race diameter for each one. He may just be able to lathe down the Insight's hubs to fit in the CRX's knuckles, or if the Insight's hubs are smaller than the CRX's, you may be able to get custom bearings to take up the slack. You'd have to talk to a machine shop for any of those options, though.
