New Holland L779 boom lift cylinder repair - snap ring

I have a NH L779 Skid Steer. The boom lift cylinders were leaking so I am attempting my first repacking job. I've already installed a seal kit and have got the cylinder back together up to the point of trying to get the snap ring in that holds the gland in place. I just can not get the beefy snap ring to go into the housing. Any suggestions on how to compress it?
 
If your snap ring has no eyes for a pliers try a hose clip of a suitable size to close it a bit for you,be careful of it flying loose and causing injury.
