Hey Roger: After you get the stack of doughnuts, spacers and all lined up
in your jig or fixture to hold them, do not compress them too far. Just
compressing them far enough so you can see the ring grove (about 1/8 to 3/16
below the cap), then start one end of the snap ring in the grove so it is just
past one of the openings. Work the snap ring into place with a couple of screw
drivers, one keeping the first end from coming out, and the other putting the
ring into place. Once you get more than 1/2 way around, it goes pretty
good.
I have found if you compress the stack too far, the
snap ring is harder to put into place. It is also important to compress the
stack in an even manner, so you have the room for the snap ring to go back in to
place without hitting the bell shaped top.
After doing all the above, the mouth-tongue
placement is the final toughie
