I replaced mine this summer. Still no problems.
Put it up in the wise with a socket to keep the distance on the u joint. Then used a hammer and small bar to hit new "marks"

Re-staked them. No room for making clips or anything.

Thanks So looking at yours it looks like you created those 'tabs' with a hammer and chisel?

So finally got around to completing this and im pleased to say it all went well as per LR3norway's appears to have done.
Few little pointers...make sure you use a socket between the 'fingers' to ensure they dont collapse when pressing in caps (guess how i know )
I ground of the insides of 'fingers' smooth to make it easier to slide the yoke in before pressing the caps together.
Other than that its pretty simple,Thanks again Gstuart for the original heads up!
Havent tested it yet as front diff is still on my bench awaiting parts!
