I need to remove my Lenco idler wheel (help).

Posted by krenzler on July 17, 2006 at 18:03:51:
This might be a bit "noob-ish" but here goes:
My current idler wheel has a slight imperfection (my own silly doing) so I bought another one from eBay (at a price). Luckily it is 100% even/straight.
How do I remove the metal circlip (it looks a bit like a crab's claw) that holds the wheel in place without resorting to violence? It seems to be fitted very tightly in place. I was hoping that I won't need to remove the whole arm assembly that holds the wheel in place from the top-plate.
Is there a tool for this or do I just need to be more forceful? My fear is that I accidentally break the circlip.
