Installing Drive Gear Retaining Ring
The larger flanged ring of the two retainers, it is driven all the way home. It may at times feel like it's tight, but when you look at it from the side, you can see that it still has a sizable gap above the gears. This is when you back it off a little, and then feel the gears pop into place. It usually needs to be done that way with both gears.
I figure the best tool for this job is one that is the same diameter as the retainer, with two pins no deeper than the flange on the retainer, so they don't bind on the gears. This give you even pressure on the retainer while screwing it down, and a better chance of getting it right the first time.
