Default Follower arm retaining clip

I just received my NX4 kit and I am PUMPED!

The only thing the bothers me about the kit so far is that when I opened the bag that contains the head I found the little ring that holds the arm pin in had fallen off!

I took the ring and put ring back on where it belonged and within 10 seconds of me holding the head it fell off again!

I'm a little surprised the quirky little rings are used to hold the follower arms together.

Anyone have any tips to keep this thing on? Perhaps I just need to compress it's little tabs more and push it on? It seems like these would easily pop of @ 2700 rpm and cause the follower arms to fail. It would be very easy for these to pop off an go unnoticed since they are so small.

Let me know what you think!

Yea - flatten out the 3 lugs a bit and then slide it back on - hopefully it should hold after that.. mine don't seem to have any issues..
