The snap rings are not the usual ones with holes at each end that you put the snap ring plier stubs into. These are thick rings with beveled ends and the pliers have two flat little arms that stick out. I'll see if I can find a picture.

As for the bearings, you can have a shop press on the input shaft bearing, but the output shaft bearing has to be pressed on with the guts in the case. You can either use a press, or you can use a good brass drift and a hammer....or a long section of pipe that fits the inner race. I've done it several different ways. You could also heat the bearing in boiling water, then slip it on with welding gloves...it should go on rather easily like that...probably by hand.
