Default Taking piston off of rod? help

I have some eagle h beam rods connected to srp pistons and im trying to get them apart. What tool or method do yall go at taking them apart? It looks like theres a clip on each side I need to get out. But I know im not going to be able to get it with a small flathead. Any help would be appreciated. Nick

You'll need a good needlenose plyer to unseat the locking ring.

the easiest way would be to go to machine shop n let them press it out!

Or just take the snap ring out and watch the pin fall on the ground.
