I took apart my drive shaft to clean and paint, and now when I'm assembling it again, I can't get the U joint in the yoke anymore ...

When I measure the width of the u joint, it's 1,5mm (a bit less then 1/16") wider then the room between the 2 holding clips of the yoke ...

I marked every part when I removed it, to be sure everything goes back the way it was ...

Any suggestions on how to get it back in ?
