This happens all the time! They're probably hiding with all the single 
socks and pen caps without pens.

It's a PITA location even for a C clip. In a pinch, I've used a plain 
flat washer. Find one that just fits over the shaft. Cut out a pie 
section so it looks like a big "C". Put it in place over the groove and 
squeeze slightly with channelocks. It's a fairly sloppy circlip and has 
enough width to later grab with pliers to remove.
