Make sure the shaft and bearings are seated all the way into the headstock. The back edge of the rear bearing should just clear the front edge of a groove at the back of the bore. Start the retaining spring into this groove. Start with the end and rotate it around while applying pressure so the end inserted does not come out.

This shows the retaining spring completely installed. Make sure the entire spring seats into the groove.
