88 5ksq Rear Wheeling Bearing C-Clip Removal

[gwbutler]

Hello All,

I'm having a hard time removing the inside C-clip retaining the rear wheel bearing on my 88 5ksq.  The C-clip and seat are pretty well oxidized.  I've tried soaking the surfaces with a really good solvent...to no avail.  Has anyone ever successfully removed a rusted C-clip?  Any tricks/recommendations?  TIA
