TRW ps pump question

Lol by no means an expert... all I've done is mess something up worse than it was lol. Gotta dig deeper to fix my stupid ****. I hadn't planned on going this far but.....
Also in behind new lip seal is a needle bearing of some sort. It "looks and feels" good. I would rather not remove lip seal(new), to replace a good bearing? Ideas?
Gonna check with machine shop on clip.
Thanks!
Wow! You have now gone farther than what I normally do. Good job. We all are going to learn something here. You are now the P/S expert. Make sure there is clearance for the new style snap ring and let us know how it turns out.
