I have been trying for hours to get the c clip out of my bearing but it won’t come out. What do you guys think I should do.

Try using a smaller needle. I like to use a sewing straight pin like this:

Also remember that the c-clip has two ends. One end will be angle toward you and the other end will be angles away from you.

You want to try and pull the c-clip out by putting the needle between the outer race of the bearing and the c-clip end that is facing away from you. In the picture above it is the end on the right side.

did you get it out? some times theres so much gunk I have to clean the outside of a bearing with mineral spirits to get to the c clip.
