I bought a 75mm version of that retainer recently and it took quite a bit of sanding to get it to fit over the motor tube properly.
I've had a few that according to my dial calipers were incorrectly labeled. If you have access, I'd measure the ID of the retainer and go to the Aeropack website and double check the dimensions. Could also be that the retainers are for G10 FG, and now everything is G12, which is a little thicker.

What grit sand paper did you use
I would use something like 60 or 80 grit if you want to get it done this week... :wink:

Get a DremelI'm using 50 now I have until Friday before we leave for Orangeburg
Get a Dremel
Sand the tube instead of the retainer. The retainers are grooved for epoxy.
Is there another method of retention I can try this late in?
Dude, don't despair, get to work and keep sanding! Like DizWolf said if it's getting stuck you're pretty close.
BTW if you practice a bit with the Dremel, it'll stop sanding unevenly
