put the valve back together and push the assembly past the hole where the air comes in then insert a allen wrench into the hole to hold the assembly in the valve. then put the snap ring back in you just have to get it started and roll it into the groove, prety simple really.

Lock the plug down out of the way then place the spiral ring over the hole and hold it there with your thumb on the edge opposite the end point. Take a tool such as a knife point or dental pick to push the end of the ring down into the bore until it catches in the groove.

Work the tool around pushing more of the wire of the ring into the groove while keeping the opposite edge of the ring held tightly against the end of the valve...centered on the hole.

Once you have a little more than half of the ring into the groove there is less likelihood of the ring popping away (across the room never to be found again). Continue working it down into the groove until complete.

Look here, at the next to last post, for pictures that might help.
