Removing Slave Cylinder Check Valve

I've researched many threads on here and on the Accord forums about our check valve but haven't found any DIY slave cylinder removals. The videos I found online were explaining how to remove the check valve while it's already out of the car. If anyone can send me the link on how to remove the slave cylinder so I can remove the check valve. I'll greatly appreciate it.

or getting that stupid little clip off haha. i bent like 10 picks trying to get it off, but then again they were from harbor freight haha.

i ended up just taking a dremel and making a groove so i could get under the clip and have more leverage prying it off

anything to prevent the c-clip from flying!

The fun ones to do are the giant wheel bearing snap rings After the fourth or fifth wheel bearing change I finally gave in and bought a decent set of snap ring pliers.
