98 ranger hub problem

[sobriquet]

hey guys, so i pulled the auto "vacuum" hubs on a 98 ranger to get to the lower balljoint. when i pulled the bearing assembly off, i broke the plastic snapring holding the axle end in. cant get the snapring new, gotta get the entire hub assembly. anyone run into this problem?
