Installing Snap Ring on a Shaft with Larger OD

[QUOTE="harpoon, post: 6521574, member: 690973"] Hello! Long story short, I am interested in installing a snap ring rated for 5 mm diameter shafts over a 6 mm diameter shaft into the appropriate groove. For several reasons, I cannot use other types of retaining rings (i.e. side mount E-style retaining rings, etc). This is the snap ring: [URL]https://www.mcmaster.com/90154A101/[/URL] Unfortunately, I am not able to quickly get my hands on a rotary shaft with the proper grooves and retaining rings to test this out experimentally. Assuming I have the proper installation tools and that the groove is properly sized to fit the snap ring, is this possible, or will it be too difficult to open the snap ring 1 mm farther than the rated OD of the snap ring? In general, how far can I open a snap ring over its rated shaft OD until it yields or gets damaged? Thank you in advance! Let me know if I should clarify anything. [/QUOTE]
