32 is the one driving me crazy. The opposite end one, 28, came right off.
It is like it's pressed between the bearing race and the ring slot too hard, as if the bearing wasn't seated down far enough before the circlip was stuck in.
The one on the opposite end had 2 sides of equal hooking points that my specially ground long nose could get at.
32 seems damaged by prior installer or something. It has one flat side, and one that's like the ends of 28 , more pointed (so you can leverage it a little) Not identical. I worry I'm killing the shaft or some bearing race (30) with the rubber hammer pushing at the screwdrivers.
Maybe I should Dremel the thing from the other side.
