CV Axle Snap Ring/Clip

So I am in the process of replacing the torn cv boot on my 2004 4Runner. While removing the outer cv from the axle to slide the new boot on, the clip that holds the cv to the axle broke. It seems like Toyota does not sell this clip. The only place I found one that looks the same is here.

CV Joint Inner Snap Ring

Anyone know somewhere we can get this clip locally? Ive tried Orileys, Autozone, and Pep boys and noone has it.

SOLVED:
To clarify, I ordered replacement cv boot kits from Toyota and it came with only 2 of the 3 snap rings that are on an axle. The 3rd snap ring, which is the one I needed, was not included and is not sold separately. There is no Toyota part number for it. Marlin crawler and Trail-Gear do not have this clip either.

I contacted the company that rebuilds oem Toyota axles, CVJ Axles, and they were able to sell me the clip. I mentioned that I couldn’t get it at Toyota and they also said Toyota doesn’t sell it. They do not normally sell this clip but were able to send one out to me.

I thought these came in the kit with the boots, grease, etc. If they do, then they SHOULD be available seperately. Of course it took 2 trips to get the parts folks to find a glovebox bulb for me.
 
Trail gear has a couple different sizes, not sure if they are the same but you could call them. If you find out they will work could you let everyone else know by replying here?
 
are you using the Toyota OEM seal kits? Everyone that I had previously bought came with both types of grease needed as well as replacement snap rings.
