Can you reuse a retaining ring?

Most retaining rings or snap rings can be removed and reused multiple times, provided that the stress developed during installation is minimal. However, selected models (like self-locking retaining rings) get permanently locked with the shaft / housing and cannot be removed without breaking or warping the ring.
