I have mangled c-clips by trying too hard to get a shaft in, but I never remove them. Luckily, the old ones pop off the old shaft easy enough and I just re-use them. I've always had the "if it comes with it, use it" mentality.
Check the c-clip to make sure its not bent as it will prevent you from installing the shaft. I have always had luck using a hammer and the old axle nut when installing shafts. Sometimes I would tap on just the axle if there were no threads at the tip of the shaft.
