Notice one end of the circlip is cut so you can fit a tool under it. You’ll need a pick, the park tool ones work fine, and if not a thin screwdriver or knife will work.
Dit the tool under the end of the circlip, lift the edge, and when you’ve lifted it 3-5mm (poss. More) pull it towards you. That should lift part of the circlip out of the slot. If you got enough of the circlip out of the slot, you can fit the pick under the edge and continue lifting it out. What you don’t want to do is use two tools, one to lift the end and another to run along the edge lifting the rest of it.
Hopefully that makes sense. It’s not a difficult task once you get the knack of it. I have no idea how you’d remove the circlip pictured in that stock photo.

Does anyone have an idea how I can remove the circlip in my old Campy Record freehub? I've worked out that it's called a blind circlip, because it doesn't have an eye at either end that would allow one to use circlip pliers. Here's a photo of the thing in situ, and a stock photo from the Wiggle site that shows what they look like.
