where did you install the O-ring?

Because the O-ring gets shoved into the hole in the slave then the metal end fitting goes in and then the clip , the O-ring does NOT get installed in the "Groove" on the end fitting.

I was putting the o rong in the groove and then pushing the clip in and it kept breaking the o ring...... So put the o ring in the hole then slide the fitting in ... then the clip ...and i shouldnt have a problem?
