Put a crowbar or something long through the u-joint area behind the rotor, and pry it so that it pushes the hub shaft outward. That might allow you to get enough to get the snap ring on.
Also, IIRC, I had a similar issue, where the snap ring groove was different between two trucks I had. One was a full time 4x4 (NP203) But that was years ago. If my memory gets better soon, I'll let ya know.
