What looked like a 10min. job is probably going to be a 2 week project!

I'm "trying" to install my new notched float and jet extensions with the help of the HOLLEY manual, which isn't much help at all(waste of money!)
I can't figure out how to remove the "c" clip the book refers to in order to remove the float from the shaft. Hell, I don't even SEE any clips!
Do I have to remove the needle/seat assembly before the float can be removed?
Can somone tell me EXACTLY what I need to do to get the old float off and the new one on?
The Holley manual assumes that everyone is a Jedi Master of Holleys.
I would appreciate it very much if someone could help me out because my carburetor is in pieces in the garage until I get this figured out.
It's a Holley 750dp (4150)
