+1 on what Nate says re-a long punch. Freezing definitely helps and I don't believe there's a circlip on the wheel. Also, don't forget there's also bearings on the sprocket carrier. The only circlip I remember is on the swing arm pivot.

Next I heated the end of it up with a blow torch until it was glowing red and bent the tip to a curve just enough until it was very easy to fit in the notch, while inserting the drift all the way through the rim. The bend in the drift gives the extra grab that is needed. After I made this simple tool, I got all the bearings out really easy.

Upon inserting the new bearings, let them sit in the freezer over night, and use a piece of wood over top of the new bearing while driving it in. Do not hit the bearing directly. If you freeze the bearing, it goes it sooooo much easier!
