Having had recent advice from Ruairidh, thanks so much, I have got this down from a half hour job to a one minute wonder!
Take long nose, thin tipped pliers and pick the ring end with nose of pliers and insert into place, take large screwdiver in other hand and push hard on ring and down and around, after getting about half to two thirds around push screwdriver onto the end and snap into place, tap gently all around to ensure a good fit. One further tip he gave me, ensure that the metal cup is secured in place with silicone or adhesive so that it doesn't spin with the axle. Oh and if you have the metric size seals, after thorough cleaning cup and seal, rough up the outside edge of seal with sand paper or wire wheel to ensure it fits in the cup and stays in place. Good luck. Well it worked for me!!!!
