B1 Piston Install

I am having a great deal of difficulty installing the B1 piston, cannot compress it enough to install the snap ring. This a 722.4 transmission in a 93 300E 2.8. Yesterday i pulled the front pump and checked to make sure the brake band was installed correctly and retried to compress the piston, and broke the bolt on the installer tool. I ordered a new bolt today and hope to try again this weekend. I am going to back out the overload protection valve on the opposite side to see if this will allow a little more room. Any other preferred method? I could use any idea or proper procedure to help.

Thanks, Bill

Usually takes 3 hands to do it in the car. Get a helper.

There might not be enough space on a 722.4 but I've used cut up yoghurt pots (thin but stiff bits of plastic) to help ease piston seals past grooves before.
