[Mgs] Wheel cylinder snap ring issue- HELP

[davewillner]

I've spent the last 2 hours trying to fit the curved retaining ring into the
channel on the rear wheel cylinder to hold it in place. This is the curved one
with three tabs that I believe fit into the grove. The frozen original one
doesn't have a channel or retaining ring and they came out fairly easily,
except for one...Anyway what's the trick to snapping these in place, does the
curve face up or down, how does one fit it in place? I've tried almost
everything... thanks, appreciate the help
