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.

no your not missing anything I just wanted someone else opinion on how to do it. I did one that came out ok the next I missed measured something and the grooves are hiding under the bearing which is no big deal as I can just make it wider there being no real pressure on them.

I also had some grooving inserts but they are way too narrow for this job. guess I could of ground up a HSS bit and stuck it in one of the HSS Boring bars I have.
