there isn't any real trick. in my experience, practically no force is needed to slide the joint off the shaft once you spread the clip far enough, so you don't really need to move the clip backwards. it just needs to be spread far enough apart. the problem i always ran into was my circlip pliers slipping when i had spread the clip a certain amount, so i was no longer pushing on the ears, but on the clip itself just below them. if the circlip *did* have those holes in it, you would never be able to spread it far enough - the ears need to completely disappear :) the first one took me way longer than i'd like to admit. since then, they've come apart in 30 seconds... good luck!
