So, I'm in the middle of the project.

Replaced inner and outer bearings, races, and inner seal.

Puting it all back together and the snap ring won't quite go back on. No matter how much I torque things down, it seems like I need just 1/100th inch more to get the snap ring to hit the groove. I can't seem to make that happen.

I've taken it all apart, and tried again. Everything seems to be seated correctly...confused and now the VX sits up on blocks.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Bim
