Both legs of the cotter pin should be inside the hole in the adjusting ring and just spread slightly.

Ok so I ordered some new O rings. I believe the original size is a 9⅝ ID x ⅛ thick which is not a standard size. The closest size is a 9½ ID which is a #272 square cross section ring. The standard type (70 duro buna) should be fine. I have 4 extras, if you want one LMK. Donate $10 to the forum and I'll send you one.
Got the rear axle in and shimmed, which took forever. The parts cross reference gives a 13649 seal as the outer seal. This is wrong as it is too thick. It should be a 13662 seal. I dodged this by grinding down the seal thickness and adding a gasket around it, but it was still a huge pain and I might re-do it as I don't want the bearings loading onto the seals. Other than that, it went OK and I got the rear brake lines installed.

By the way, the rear axle endplay may be easily tested in this manner.
