Default snap ring on To4e-h/how to get on?? (pic)

Alright, i've taken this thing apart/cleaned it, and cannot get this snap ring back on for the live of me, I have 5 snapring pliers and none of them will even fit it. Does anyone have some tips on how to get this bastard back on? When I took it off I just jimmy'd it off with a coupple screwdrivers.



Ok the pic is fucked up, i'm working on it, how the ---- do you resize it? Well I tried

ill have to wait for the pic, but on the 14b i just used a pair of small needle nose pliers and a good grip, because im too cheap to buy snap ring pliers.

They are a pain, and you have to put one side in then compress the ring, then i usually tap it in with a big flat screwdriver and a hammer to make sure its set in there good.

yes, they are a pain, I used some pliers to hold them then had friend tap slowly with a big flat head, it took a few tries, a few beers and a few hours, good luck.

Take that ring with you and get a pair of snap ring pliers that'll fit.
