Do I need to use these clips?
Please take a look at this picture:
http://jeepadventures.dyndns.org/temp/yoke.jpg
I'm trying to finish up fixing my Jeep today. I was putting the
u-joint into the yoke. Fits great and the straps fit great but the
u-joint came with those 4 brass clip things. I don't see where in the
world to use them. Are they for "some applications" but not mine?
'76 CJ5 with dana 20 transfer case. That's what the yoke's going on,
the front output of the dana 20 transfer case. Thanks in advance for
replies!

Less drivel, more Dremel.
Always carry a flagon of whiskey in case of snakebite,
and furthermore always carry a small snake.

Re: Do I need to use these clips?
Look at your driveshaft and you'll see that the ends where the new new-joints
go are closed in (not open and using u-bolts like the yoke), This is because
the U-joint must be pressed into the driveshaft side first and those round
clips fit in a groove just above the caps. Then, the driveshaft (with yoke
attached to the t-case) is attached and bolted like your picture.....go check
out tyour driveshaft and you'll see what I'm talking about.

Re: Do I need to use these clips?
Do you know how and have the proper tools to put that yoke on?
I had a so called Jeep 'mechanic' install mine because I didn't know the
correct way and didn't have a 300 lb torque wrench and he destroyed my
diff bearings. He said, like others here have said, "Oh, you don't need
new shims and I don't need a torque wrench to do it right". Ya Right!
I then had to take it to a 'real' mechanic to have it rebuilt properly
and $500.00 later had a Jeep I could drive again.
You will need the clips on the driveshaft side of the u-joint and be
sure the u-joint is in facing the right way. If you have it backward,
you will not be able to get grease in the nipple, the gun won't fit on.
The nipple needs to be on the side that has the crack open up when the
driveshaft turns for room for the grease gun.
