Lockring trouble

I had to take my lockring off my other wheelset which was on there with locktite. Taking it off took the strength of two mechanics but it came off. However, I am finding it damn near impossible to put it on my new wheelset. Suggestions? Should I just head over to the LBS?

Assuming the lockring is not damaged in any way, are you sure that lockring is compatible with your new track hub?

Good question. For the answer, see my Bicycle Glossary:
