7. Install the new snap ring. Ensure it is seated all the way
around the groove. Use a drift and hammer if needed to seat it
in the groove all the way around. If the snap ring will not seat
correctly, make sure the snap ring groove is clean and free of
debris. Figure 5.87 and Figure 5.88.
NOTE:
The gap between the snap ring ends is smaller when the
snap ring is not completely seated. Once correctly seated, the snap
ring will expand in the groove and the ends of the snap ring will
spread further apart. Figure 5.89 and Figure 5.90.
