 The Clarinet BBoard

Hello again. I took out my old Noblet (which has been sitting in the closet for a decade or two) and found the barrel has a loose upper ring. This, of course, is due to shrinkage. Somebody had attempted to fix this in the past by inserting paper until the ring stayed in place. It wasn't loose when I got it, but now the ring has come loose and the mouthpiece won't insert fully. I would like to attempt fixing this myself if possible.
Multipart question: Is it advisable to use oil to attempt to re-swell the wood? I know oiling is debatable, but this is for the repair of a very dry clarinet. Is 20 year old Leblanc Bore oil (came with the clarinet) acceptable for this procedure? Should I attempt to oil this with the ring on or should I remove and press it on afterwards? Also, will the cork grease from years past affect absorption at all?
Thanks in advance,
-A
