I wasn't able to get the driver side out until after I got the passenger side out. The driver side c-clip didn't come out of the slot, it can be accessed once you get the middle driver gears or whatever you call them out of the locker. I did have the center pin and all the springs out the whole time I was trying to disassemble. It was really just a matter of getting the c clip to slide out with gravity. If there was room to get a magnet pen in the slot it would have been a breeze.

I do appreciate all you guys chiming in.

 

That's what I was saying that driver side clip goes in before you even put the passenger side of the locker in and it comes out after the passenger side is removed.
