Might be able to work on it this coming weekend. Had some trouble when I was trying to put my birfs back together last time. I have 27 spline longs with longfield inner axles. When I tried to put the inner snap ring in the birf I had no luck. I tried a hose clamp and a couple screwdrivers, but was still unable to get it in. There was only maybe an eighth of an inch between the end of the inner axle and the snap ring.

Are there any tips or advice you guys have for putting the snap ring in? Should I just martack it instead?

Any help or ideas would be appreciated. Thanks
