Another tip . Lubricate the ring and crankcase with Mobile 1  or castor oil.  
I have had success installing the ring by applying even pressure with my 
thumb while holding the case in my other hand . The lubricant helps the ring to 
slide without grabbing and the chamfer in the case will compress it for you as 
it slides in .
