When replacing the drive shaft center bearing or.

When replacing the drive shaft center bearing or carrier bearing, I had to take the cv apart, located on the front rear drive shaft. After reassembly the Fluted bearing carrier came off the spline shaft after a month of driving. I wanted to replace the spring clip thinking that would solve the problem. There is a repair kit available but I think that I need just to replace the clip. Am I thinking this correctly. I have since put it back together and in the test drive the bearing carrier slipped back over the spring clip again. Just clip or repair kit?
