Forgot outer retaining circlip on front wheel bearing, what do I do?

처리 내용

As @Moab stated, if it wasn't needed, it wouldn't be there. In most cases, the clip is there to maintain bearing position. Without it, the bearing walks and it drastically shortens the life of not only the bearing, but anything which the bearing comes into contact, mainly the CV joint. When the bearing walks, this puts pressure the CVJ every time you turn a corner. I'm sure there are other parts which will be affected as well, but needless to say, you really need to put the clip in place. As my father always told me, if you are going to do something, never do it half a$$ed. Take care of business and do it right. As you stated, this is a learning experience ... chalk this up to your education and get it done right. Pull it apart and put the clip in there.
