first of all, taking out your bearings with a screw drive ruins them, especially if you push them out fom the inside. then 2. some close ups would be nice.
i would also recomment soaking the bearings in the cleaner for like 5 mins so the dirt has time to get out. and the ring is called a c ring 
and other cleaners you can use are Wd-40 or bsb speed wash. and a nice skate lube is bsb high speed lube.
but this the vid is good. i never saw the plyers for the ring of the axle in action |
the "c ring" is a c clip
Wd-40 is used for rust using it on your bearings makes it do some weird sound like dirt gritting
using a screwdriver is ok as long as you, like he said in his video, only push the lip of the bearing and not the sheild. |

you have to remeber. wd-40 is a powerful cleaner. but after using wd-40 you NEED to lubricate! otherwise you balls in the bearings will rub on the on the inside bare. thats metal on metal...creates heat and ruins you bearings permanentley. just get a lubricant that is suited for those pupurses.
