I would also suggest buying a new clip for the install. The best way I’ve found to do it is to cut one side of the ear clip off and then pull it through the opposite way. Not only does it come out easy but it also helps clean out the groove for reinstalling the new one.
The only issue with cutting the ear off is it the other one comes off as well your in a pickle. This is a last resort for us.
Clean the groove with lube and brake clean first andmake sure the clip is moving.
Take the front 2 bolts out of the diff, tale the nut off the bottom rear but leave the bolt in.
While opening the clip, pry backward on the front u joint to pull th driveshaft out of the diff. It doesn't need to come all the way out, just enough to clear the clip groove.
Then take the remaining diff bolt out and push it forward. Works like a charm
