Default In the middle of a job...need help!!

I know its not the best place to ask but the RS turbo room is pretty dead

I'm changing the gear box in my Escort RS turbo and it says in the magical book of Haynes that I need to replace some snap rings on the drive shafts or something???

Any ideas, oh and if theres anything else i should know feel free to tell me, cheers
