88 5ksq Rear Wheeling Bearing C-Clip Removal

[David Kavanagh]

I've usually just pried one end out and start peeling. If you can use
a punch to get one end freed up, you are good to go. Just make sure
you have a new one on hand. The little hole in the end makes a place
for the punch to catch hold. Plenty of liquid wrench or PB blaster
can't hurt either.
