i just got the snap ring in on mine... Once you get it right its quite easy! However getting to that point was a PITA!

The hub on mine did not fit well on to the shaft (both factory parts). Total bear getting the parts into the case when the splines wont fit.

It turns out that my splines fit well if indexed a certain way and in fact slid right on once I figured that out.

Once I got that down I was able to get the snap ring into place. Before seating the snap ring into place (it was close to the groove) I mounted the chain and the output shaft for the front axle.

Second go around would be much easyier. Just hope all those needle bearings are ok after a handfull of trial assemblies.

I call it the ship in a bottle transfer case.
