I will be replacing the lower (plastic) half of the long pick up tube with this Briggs part # 391813

I have replaced the older style press-in 1-piece all brass long tubes before. This is a first time for this style. I had a heck of a time getting what was left of the old plastic tube and retaining ring/clip off w/o damaging the brass tube. It looks like it will be a real challenge to get the new one on and (especially) opening up and sliding on the retaining ring/clip that secures the tube. Any words of wisdom from you old timer pros out there that have done this before? You will need to go into the "Way-back Machine" and remember how you did it back in the day?!
Thank you for any help.
