I think it is all on and it slips off, start at 6 o'clock, work round to 12 and the 6 pops off or the whole thing seems to slip off.

This was a 5 minute job now taking hours

On mine (as posted in your other post) it went in easily, but then they were effectively new. Have you checked the flange is clean?

If I recall, the clip ring is encased in the rubber. Perhaps placing for a few minutes in hot water to allow the rubber to soften, and the clip ring to expand slightly.
