The last sign of resistance (5)
I haven't cracked this one yet — but Fifteensquared have:
Double definition. Omega is the last letter of the Greek alphabet, hence “the last” of anything; and the standard abbreviation for ohms, the unit of electrical resistance, is the capital-letter Omega, .

Double definition. Abbreviation for Light-Emitting Diode; or headed (as a verb) = was the leader of = led.
Snoops around Hooters (5)
I haven't cracked this one yet — but Fifteensquared have:
Double definition. Snoop = nose around = to be inquisitive; or hooter = slang for nose. (The surface suggests the US restaurant chain Hooters, whose name derives from a rather more vulgar slang usage of the word – though they will try to tell you it’s all about owls.)

To struggle against associate taking criminal cut (9)
I haven't cracked this one yet — but Fifteensquared have:

I haven't cracked this one yet — but Fifteensquared have:
A + WAKE (a party in honour of someone who has died = a bash for a stiff), with the question-mark indicating a rather contrived definition.
Down

Removing outer layers of eczema on nipple agitated old gasbag (8)
I haven't cracked this one yet — but Fifteensquared have:
[ec] ZE [ma] removing the two outer letters at each end (outer layers), then an anagram (agitated) of NIPPLE . People sometimes query whether “on” indicates a specific order for two wordplay elements, but it’s easier just to think of it as “next to”. Zeppelin = old airship, though strictly speaking it was a rigid structure containing lots of individual gasbags.
