Hello Mark!
I discovered the easiest way was to install the circlip with it's curveature
facing _outwards_. I tried forever to get the thing on with the curve facing
inwards, finally in disgust, flipped it over and discovered that with the
curve facing out, the two front flanges of the clip caught the groove in the
cylinder, allowing me to use a screwdriver to 'pop' the top flange into the
groove...works everytime.
Hope this helps!
