Default Torque tube rebuild question
Is the snap ring on the slinger ring side of the shaft supposed to be installed tight or does it sit loose?

It doesnt actually "snap" into place, correct? Its the slinger washer that holds it in i believe.

The slinger is the last thing on the input side. Shown here in gold, with the replacement in silver. The snap ring goes on the output side, right?
