Most standard universal joints have either internal snap rings that sit inside the ears of a yoke or flange and sit in a grove that has been cut into the universal joint cap. The other design is external snap rings, they sit in grooves that have been machined inside the ears of the yokes and flanges. Staked-in references the manner in which the universal joints are held into the yokes and flanges because the metal of the yoke and flange is actually forced over the edges of the universal joint cap to hold it into position.
