Hi guys, replaced the rubber impeller in the water pump but have a hard time reistalling the snap ring on the shaft. Not sure what it does. The impeller is well contained axially between the bottom and the cover. Do I really need this snap ring? Here is a pic of the troublesome snap ring.

Fyi Moyer sells special size snap ring tool for this job and it makes it very easy and I recommend it. Possible to find elsewhere - have another generic that has three different insert prongs depending on snap ring size. Little flimsey but it works as well.
