But have you lost an eye yet?

I got the (much smaller) circlips moving by levering one end out and then using a screwdriver to 'walk' the rest of it out far enough that it could come flying out like some kind of tiny un-guided missile.. (and then we had to weld bolts on to the bearings to get those out )

If I could get any movement on it then I’d try that!

If you have a fine cutter, can you cut across the clip 180 degrees so its in 2 parts ?
That way, the spring tension should work in your favour and it should prise out easier 
You will need a new clip mind you

Yeah... Not enough space to get through it but it’s on the list of possibilities... Heat is next on the list

That's the best cure for any french motor car.

Nah, that’s a waste of unleaded... Have you seen the price lately?

I’ll use contaminated fuel instead!

Just an update... Resorted to a bit of heat in the end and it popped out fine... Wish I’d Dug out the gas bottles earlier now Although I suspect the overnight soaking helped too
