   Have any of you figured out a quick and easy way/tool to get Toro risers and corresponding snap rings back into the bodies? Really makes me appreciate Rainbird's exposed snap ring! Thanks in advance for any responses.

   2 tools, 180 degrees across from each other to push the snap ring down evenly into place. 1 tool doesn't seem to work well.

   Thanks for your suggestion, Chris. My coworkers discovered that a light coat of silicone grease on the o-ring helps keep it from strectching and ruin when reinstalling, but they have also been at a loss as to how to "more easily" get the whole riser and snap ring back in. We will throw extra tools in our carts for the next go-round!

   Coat O-ring with Crisco or Plumbers Lube.

   Toro make a riser hold up tool that works well to hold the riser up while allowing you to push the snap ring in place by using the Toro multi tool or a flat screw driver.
   The riser hold up tool make a huge difference, it turns into a quick and easy job
