open to suggestions on how to do snap ring grooves I need one in each end of the bore to hold the bearing in place.
I am assuming you intend that the snap rings will hold the end of the bearing and not the snap ring grooves the bearing appears to have.
I would grind an L shaped boring bar to cut the internal snap ring groove.
I must be missing something here 'cause it seems too obvious to me.
