Bill,
They are a real PITA. I've done these about 20 times, the first 8 or
10 times I fought with the supplied circlips. They will go on. I use
a set of locking needle nose pliers (vicegrips) and they eventually
slide into place. A final tap with the blade of a heavy screwdriver
and they are seated in place. I got tired of struggling with these
and finally decided to buy a supply of the "other style" circlips at my
local hardware store.... much easier to R&R. I never use the
"Gaskets".
