Default AC Compressor Clutch Snap Ring

I am working on replacing my AC compressor clutch right now, but the snap ring is really stuck on there. I think I am going to have to destroy the ring to get it off. Does anyone know what size it is, so I can buy a new one? ID/OD? Alternatively if anyone knows where to buy an installation kit. I found one, #MT0985, but it is sold out everywhere. My only option is to buy a lot of 3 from ebay, but that's $20. If I have to I'll take it out and measure it myself but I'm trying to minimize downtime on the car, and want to have all the parts ready beforehand.

It's $20 for 2 kits I won't even use, every dollar counts especially with a high mile C4.

That's probably a good idea. I'll probably just buy the ones on ebay, and sell the leftovers. I just don't like having stuff I'll never need lying around.
$20 isn't too much for me, I just try to save where I can. Thinking about it though, it seems buying just the snap ring and having it shipped won't really be any cheaper. Thanks for the help!
