I use eyeglass screwdrivers to get under the ring to pop it out of the gap, and grab it with needle nose plyers.

I bought a dental pick from Ace hardware. I also used to take a coat hanger and cut a 6" piece and smash the ends with a hammer and dig it out.

I've got a set of 4 Snap-On picks, there is one in there that looks like it was designed for just such occasions. There are many pick sets out there and they all have a variety of shapes for doing stuff like this. I use mine allot and I recommend them for anyone working on their own stuff... Anyway, one side of the ring has a sort of ramp under the edge. Slide the bent pick under the edge of the ramp and lift it till you can get a small flat bladed screw driver under it, then you can walk it right out.

I just did this tonight, like the others said,you just gotta mess with it until you get it. I also sat there cursing that damn thing!

Good luck!
