take out hte bolt that holds the center pin in place. Remove the center pin. Push the axles in about a half inch exposing the c-clips, then pull off c-clips (if they haven't fallen off already).

Make sure you remove the ABS sensors (if you have ABS) first--they can/will be damaged by the ABS wheel if not removed...

You should not have to remove the S-spring to get the U-clips out...

A strong magnetic pickup will usually pull them out once you break them free so they'll spin on the shaft--they are not circlip type things, just U-clips.
