Snap ring pickup coil

1977 Ford F150 6.6l 400

I'm having no luck removing the snap ring that holds the pickup coil on. I've tried prying up with picks. I've tried penetrating oil. Still no luck. Any suggestions?

I have had reasonable luck with my pocket jackknife.Kind of slice it under the ring with the tip of the knife at the slot/break in the snap ring. Move knife slightly to use the sharp tip and pry up a bit. Be ready with something else like a very small screwdriver to slip under when the knife tip has a portion of the ring away. Can be a pain. Good luck1

I'm trying to remove the top nicked up piece, correct? It doesn't appear to be a snap ring to me.

12146 in pic is the 12151 breaker plate retainer. 351826-S is the "C" clip that retains the 12370 diaphragm rod.

thanks NumberDummy. So green is the piece I'm trying to remove. Orange appears to just be part of the shaft if I read your diagram correctly. Is this correct? Sorry for the confusion.

What you see in this parts catalog pic is all there is. I pointed out several of what the basic part numbers were for.
