If you are talking about the small snap ring that goes on the axle (about 1" diamater), try sliding the axle out by prying at the u joint. It should move in and out with little force.

no its the bigger retaining spring that fits in the groove onthe inside of the hub i can get the snap ring in ok it seems like the groove needs to move toward the outside about 1/8 to maybe 3/16

I'd try that hub on the other side and the other hub on that side.
