Default Axle snap ring removal

Hey guy's any suggestions on an easy way to remove the snap ring off of the axle? I don't want to destroy it, or chew up my axle taking it off.

are you talking about the one holding the carrier in the swingarm? if so I just used a pair of needle nose pliers stuck a tip in each hole on the clip and opened them, if you are talking about the smaller circlip under the bearing adjuster i used a small flat tip and lifted the end over the lip and followed it around with the handle of the pliers so i wouldnt scratch anything

I was reffering to the one on the axle, on the sprocket side. I used a flat head, and it came right off.
Thanks for the replys guy's.

Not to be a smartass or anything, but snap ring pliers seem to work real well !
You can get them for a few bucks....................
