Default 95 LeSabre AC question

I am changing the AC clutch bearing on my '95 LeSabre Custom. The compressor appears to be a Harrison HD6. It looks like there is some kind of weird little clip on the shaft ahead of the clutch plate. I understand the clutch is pressed on and I have a puller to remove it. I've looked at a couple of parts breakdowns and don't see any clips. I'm confused. Can anyone help?

As long as you have the proper tools changing the bearing should be no problem.
Once you remove the clutch hub with the puller, there is a lock ring called the rotor bearing retainer. That's the ring you see in the illustrations. After you remove the pulley with the proper puller, remove the snap ring and drive the old bearing out.
You need not remove the stake marks to remove the old bearing, but you should file them off before attempting to install the new bearing. Assemble in reverse order of removal. Air gap for clutch hub is .020-.030" .
