Here is a good video on spring to retainer clearance. This is not meant to contradict any other post. I watch and read some very creditable folks on the subject and some say .005"-.010" clearance. Some say snap retainer into the spring. My Outer spring I.D is 1.060" and my retainer is 1.060" One other thing to make sure is the retainer step height on the inner spring.
