have you got ABS ? if so take the sensor off and the shaft will push in far enough to get the clip off

+1 yes push shaft towards centre of axel, you should be able to get snap ring off

Yes abs fitted new to forum so do not know if I am doing this correctly to reply.
Appreciate answers is the abs sensor easy to come off easily damaged and if damaged expensive to replace.
Thanks Ross

its just one little bolt takes the sensor off , sometimes if the bolts rusty can be difficult to get off without snapping it cause its only a 6mm thread i think so spray a bit of wd40 on the bolt , but take it out and the sensor will come off,
