I presume you mean the circlips that hold the wrist pins in.  You need a 
special set of pliers that have various pins to use on the tips.  I forgot
what they're called but most parts houses have them.  Ask the guy at the
counter.  They SHOULD know what you're looking for.  I don't know of any
home made tool that can remove them.  They're worth the purchase IMO.
