When you put the c-clip back on the barrel...squeeze it gently/firmly on its sides while you press it over the barrel. Press it on evenly, not one side, then the other. You'll risk breaking the clip if you overstress it. Some are oversized and go on easy...others are very, very tight. Depends on tolerances and materials used.
Same with taking it off...don't just pry one end off, you'll risk breaking it. Edge both sides off evenly.
