  I just rebuilt #1 I have 3 and used a metal stamp kit and punched a number 1,2,3 in each so I can tell the difference. Anyway for what it is worth, I just replaced the ring in #1 and it is tricky too. I found it worked to insert the piston/ring combo onto the crank, then insert the sleeve, but it is a very delicate procedure... Don't get in a hurry. it will go, and once it slips in you will say, Wow!

  I thought this might help when re- assembling yours...

  At least that was my experience.

  I now have # 1 in the box as a back up, #3 in the primary bird, # 2 in the back up....

  Take care 

  Bryan
