The "c-clip" is removed and then you need to tap the cap/guide back into the cylinder about an inch. You should expose a groove on the inside bore of the barrell. The rebuild kit should have an orange split ring in it. This orange ring fits into the exposed groove. Be sure it fits flush down in the groove and then coat it with grease. You should then be able to pull the rod and guide assembly from the barrell. The other cylinder should have a wire ring that needs to be unwound from a slot in the side of the barrell. If you see a slot in the side of the barrell near the guide that looks like it has a rubber plug in it, take a screwdriver and pry it out of the slot. After you get the end pried out, you should be able to twist the guide and wind out the ring. after the ring is out, just pull the rod and guide assembly out.

^^ This was the info needed to take the cylinder on the right apart. Thanks!

Does anyone have picture of where you insert the split ring?

Here is the picture of it after the gland and rod was removed.
