The C has two U shaped clamps on each wheel one inside and one outside with two bolts in each one. To move them I put a jack under the drawbar on the side I want to move and jack up until the weight is off the wheel. Rotate the wheel until the clamps are on the bottom of the axle and lower until you can’t turn the wheel. Then I loosen the bolts (might take a long wrench and some PB blaster or penetrating oil) a couple of turns until the clamps are a bit loose. If you have a port-a-power you can place it between the transmission cover and the wheel and use if to push the wheel out, but don’t use too much pressure, the wheel should move fairly easily. If not loosen the clamp a bit more. If you don’t have a port-a-power, then take a long pipe or bar and pry out on the bottom between the ground and the wheel, you might need to rock it a bit to get it to move. You may also have to adjust the height of the tractor to get the right amount of weight off or on the axle to get it to move. I prefer to not loosen the clamps excessively as a safety factor but if things get ugly and the tractor is stable on the jack you can take the bolts and clamps out completely, lower the axle in the resulting space and literally tip the top of the wheel out quite a bit and then jack the tractor back up. You need to be more careful now not to knock the tractor off the jack! The bottom of the wheel will then move out. You can repeat the lowering/raising until you get the wheel where you want it and then reinstall the clamps and bolts. Obviously this lowers the safety factor and I prefer to not do unless necessary.
