That isn't a clip, that's what keeps the sprockets from rotating on the cam. Sometimes they're hard to get off. Put the cam down between two hard ledges, put a punch in the dimple on the cam, and hit it with a hammer until it falls out.

Anytime. When there's a dimple in something, it's usually an indicator of "use a punch here".
