RE: Need some more help with CV job

["Chris DeLong" <green536@hotmail.com>]

OK '81 and earlier have the clip. Later model ones dont. HOWEVER, if you 
have one of those crap japanese/american remanufactured shitboxes on your 
car it is entirely possible that they have clips. Thats how they save money. 
Rebuild the old shit and sell it to you with a life time warranty (have fun 
replacing them every 6 months).
