I am replacing my axle U-Joints. The new C-Clips however are completely different then the OLD C-Clips.

How the hell do I install the new C-Clips
 
Go to a different parts store, those guys are morons.

Drive shafts use 1310 type u-joints.
Axle shafts use either 5-260x or 5-297x u-joints.
 
Well modified the clips in our shop and then they worked fine. But this is just temporary ffing Duralast. The Jeep dealer is closed on Sunday and this was an emergency repair. I will get the good one and install it later this month.
 
Um....so you're saying the driveshaft U-joints fit your axle shafts?
 
Yeap the U-Joint fit perfect. It was just the clips. We modified them they went on and held good. Got the shaft back in place. Took it out for a test drive and every thing worked good. The problems we had before the fix were all gone. No issues going from 2H to 4HI to 4LOW. Everything seems good. I specifically told the parts person it was going on the axle's for the wheels.
