Full circle clips/snap rings

Just got a set of 760s from a local gear shop but the old man behind the counter could not find me a snap ring that would fit. I want to grind out my ears on my shafts to take full circle clips to avoid caps walking out. Would a place like lowes or home depot carry them? My dad said he wouldnt use a place like that for a vehicle clip but I'm assuming a snap ring is a snap ring is a snap ring, right? I'm willing to order them but I'd much rather just go to a store and get them.

Let me know where you guys got your full circle snap rings and what size you got them. Thanks
 
Thanks rob, I'm guessing you just brought the u joint in with you and found what fits? I'm replacing my hubs and u joints on my spares to put into my xj as a whole unit, trying to get it done before the may NJJC ride to rausch. Hopefully these snap rings will help out with shaft issues (had no problems so far but want to do it for added insurance), I'm sure with my new gears I'm gona want to use that torque that I finally have again!

PS- I probably just jynxed myself :shocked:

sometimes when i get 760's they come with the full circle snap rings and sometimes with the 2/3 circle

go figure
 
When I went I was just getting replacements, I already had one to match up. Don't remember the size, sorry. Taking a cap with you would be a really good idea and just match it up. Get a few extras too, it's really easy to mess them up when your taking them on and off. A really good quality pair of 90* snap ring pliers will make the job a hell of a lot easier.

I was hoping they would come with it or I would be able to get them from the shop. The owner is an old man and knows his stuff but I dont think he understood what I was asking for, he kept thinking driveshaft clips that go on the outside....Didn't feel like arguing with an old man ahha thanks guys!
