    Kenny, I have no idea why you had to shave your snap ring down. After reading your how-to I was worried that I would have to do the same thing, but I've repacked the bearings twice now and both times the snap ring went back on with no problem....even had a little room to spare on one side.

    LiquidVX, did it finally work out for you? Are you rolling on repacked bearings and new rotors?

    hmm. I repacked the bearings and installed new rotors. maybe it was the hub nut was on a bit tighter before I took it apart. Wheels haven't fallen off yet, so all good!
