If the snap ring will stay on the shaft but not seat in the groove, use a socket large enough to fit over the shaft and tap on the socket to seat the snap ring.

Sometimes the bell-washer is a bear to compress and another one will work better. Sometimes the snap-ring slot is buggered up and a bit of file work will clean it up enough to get it back on. I have used a good square punch to force it down now and then after it's close.
Good luck! |

If you use new concave washers it takes a press to compress it enough to get the snap ring on.
