So I spent 20 minutes or so trying to fold the (all plastic, no spring) seal into an outline of a 'C' that would fit inside the bore. It kept twisting down the bore into an elongated oval.
So, I found an appropriate socket, filled most of the bore, and it twisted up the first try - though not deep enough to catch in groove. I slowly pushed it down as I slid the socket down with it, it found the groove, the 'C' expanded, and I could coerce the rest into the groove.
No Youtuber showed me this, thought it may help someone - or me in another 15 years.
