I answered my own question by installing the snap ring in the wrong order -before the seal.

Thanks Vanpelt Sales for posting the schematics!

Another update:

Small progress but at least some progress. Front hubs and rear drums are ready to be installed. Also, I made a couple of bubble flare tests. The seventh was the charm.

This weekend I'll be working on the lines and replacing the master cylinder and refurbished pedal assembly.

I got some tinkering time and installed the front hubs and rear drums. Took the time to remove, clean, lube, and install the parking cable. Installed need boots as well since the old ones were petrified.

Took a first stab at redoing the front brake lines. I'm happy with the results of the first attempt.

Also, lurked for a while on some of my fellow '46 recent posts. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

Here are some pictures while I complete the rest of the lines.
