If you need to remove a circlip but don't have pliers on hand, there's no need to worry. With a little patience and some careful maneuvering, you can remove a circlip without pliers. Here's what you'll need to do:
1. Insert a thin, flathead screwdriver or another similar tool into the space between the circlip and the shaft.
2. Gently pry up on the circlip until it pops out of its groove.
3. Once the circlip is free from the groove, carefully remove it from the shaft.
4. Repeat steps 1-3 if necessary to remove additional circlips from the shaft.
