Is there a trick to get the back hub bearing clip ring out without breaking it. Don't see any holes on the ends to take it out.

Thanks,
Tom..........

It should have a bevel on the end that the screwdriver can lift and set to the side of the groove, then just keep going around walking it out of the groove. Actually I lift the end up enough to slip a small screwdriver under it so it can't pop back into the groove.

Wear safety glasses. They're springy.
