Trying to find out before I start cutting her up

I have an 8.25 and I want to replace my wheel bearing tomorrow. The only part I am concerned about is removing the c-clip, and then re-installing the c-clip. I have looked around and not found any info on it. How does the clip work?

Ok so the 2dr 90 has the (possibly stroker) motor out of a 96 and just took it out for a ride and noticed the temp gauge alil high popped the hood & aux fan not coming on also the ac compressor doesn't kick on either if thats related at all. any idea if the fan is compatible with the newer engine or will I need to run a switch for it?

So this? Go to 5min, 1sec: 1AAuto.com replace Change Rear C-Clip Axle Chevy Camaro Trailblazer - YouTube
When I think c-clip, I think needed special pliers and something that wraps around a shaft?

Axle trusses strengthen the axle housing/tubes by adding (typically) triangular shaped gussets usually from the top of the housing to some point towards the outter end of the axle tube.
