I mean if the C-Ring sits in a groove by its own, and its a hard metal to press on , probably a good thing it does that since the 650 has a fair amount of weight sprung to its suspension.
You want a mole grip or some kind of vice to force the C-ring in to the slot.
I am making an educated guess i have no idea how the rest of the fork rebuild went for you, so i am assuming it’s just that bit.
