Try test-fitting the clip into the pressure plate, and the release bearing into the clip without the gearbox in the way and you'll soon work it out.

I forget which way round it is, but I suspect that you don't push the clip all the way into the release bearing. Try leaving it with about a 3/16 inch gap betwen the back of the clip and the pressure plate and then gently push the bearing in. You should feel it lock into place and not come back out.

If you then push the clip collar right into the pressure plate, the bearing will release.

If that doesn't work try it the other way round - pushing the clip all the way into the pressure plate before engaging the bearing (and pull it out a little to release). As said I don't recall which way round is correct but it's one or the other.
