<DIV>I am finally, after 3+ years, putting a 120 AC back together. On the subject of the two rings on the crank shaft, what is the best way to compress them so I can slide the crank as far fwd as it will go? They protrude quite a bit from the groove right now. Your collective help is appreciated.</DIV>
