two men,or one man and a tool (can rent at autozone) Two man method---one push on the plate the other slide the ring on....
note.. have your helper pull up on the stering shaft with channel locks(with the s.wheel nut threaded on to prevent thread damage) while you both push the plate down and install c ring. these things will flat make u mad without that tool.!!!

Look through this thread about 1/2 down shows a picture of the tool referred to. Note that the ring only goes in one way.
