front hub question

front hub question
OK I have done all bearings and seals( doing last wheel today)
Question
I have taken apart 3 front hubs
2 had the snap ring and 2 guess thrust washers one thinner then other, 2 flanges had em stacked under the snap ring
1 had the thick one under the snap ring then thin one on inside of the hub flange
Which is correct?
Best I can tell rave shows 1 and it goes on the outside
I am installing terra firms HD flanges and the snap ring will not go on with both under it
Little guidance please.

I just went thought this a few days ago..
Tom, I took a 15MM closed end wrench and placed it inside a bolt that fit in the shaft. the bolt was a 17mm so I could hold the axle out with my right foot while I used my hands to fit the snap ring on.
The question of the sizes - both my D1's had a skinny and a thicker like you said. The skinny goes on first cause if you place it last, it will get into the ridge that the snap ring goes in.
The easiest mistake to make is trying to place 2 thick ones one one side after you easily places the two skinny ones on the other ..
hope this helped.
