[ROVERNET - UK] Electrical mystery continued

[Vern Klukas]

Well, that pretty much exhuasts my ideas. You are "winding" the snap 
ring in? As I recall, it is a turn and a half or maybe even two turns 
round, You have to start one end and kind of insert it a layer at a 
time. [If that doesn't make sense to you, don't worry. It barely 
makes sense to me, lol]

Maybe you just aren't hitting it hard enough!. Do you have a thin 
pipe or something that would allow you to beat on the outer flange 
that the the snapring traps.

Last thing I suppose, as a bodge, would be to fit it with a healthy 
application of locktite bearing retainer strength locking compound an 
just forgo the snapring.

Yours
Vern
