Hello. I can help with that. First, is the stub axle already out of the arm?
FOLLOW UP QUESTION: No, it is not. The stub axle is still in the rear trailing arm. I need to remove the existing stub axle and install a new one.
FOLLOW UP ANSWER:
The stub axle must be pressed out of the arm before the clip can be removed. The snap ring is just a shoulder stop does not retain the axle.
FOLLOW UP QUESTION 2:
Do you need to heat the trailing arm in the area of the stub axle to make the removal easier?
FOLLOW UP ANSWER 2:
Same as with any pressed in part, it may need to be heated if it's particularly stubborn or rusted. a hydraulic press or BFH will do the trick - usually.
