    How to install small rings holding blower halves together?

    I've tried using a 12 mm socket to push these rings down on the plastic nubbins -- and after an hour I got ONE on. Tha was after I gave up on using a screwdriver.

    There has to be an easier way - does anyone know what it is??

    These are the blower halves that hold the heater blower motor and fan in the trunk.

    Thanks!

    As I recall I've used thin tubing, much like you're trying to do with your socket, but it is too thick walled. Thin tubing with an I.D. that will slip over the plastic nub should work.
