Finally go the proper sized o-ring for the valve on my NME. Trouble is getting the damn on the valve stem. The stem is girthy, and I can’t stretch that little o-ring on it. Please share your tips! (And just the tip…)

THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID
had to be done
Get yourself some snap ring pliers like these
Put the o ring on the end and open them up a bit. A lot of times I end up putting the pliers over the stem and getting the ring on that way.

Thanks! Have a whole case of those bad boys. Didn’t think about that. Let’s see how it goes. When in doubt I’ll just keep adding lube on the pin. -
Maybe a softer durometer one is needed to stretch that far?
You could try drilling a hole just larger than the shaft diameter in something flat and hard. Im eyeballing sanded plywood. Or better yet a small piece of formica(sp?l
Then lube the orings up and place it over the hole. Then press it on?
