need some help with wheel bearing issue/mistake......

i changed my girlfriends left spindle couple weeks ago and a few days ago i realized that i forgot to put the inner bearing clip back in. its that lil clip u snap in on both sides of the bearing. i took the inner one off and realized a week later that i forgot to replace it.....i was thinking of taking the spindle back off to put it in but i really dont wanna do all of this again.....

do yall think its gonna be fine or should i go back and put it in?
aint like the bearing gonna move anyway..... right?

I can't really see that bearing walking out towards the axle, but personally I'd rip it apart and put that rear snap ring back in.

True, but should something happen (as slim of a chance as it may be)...for example, should the wheel lock up, something along those lines.
