Removing pistons and sleeves as a unit.

Good day folks, I am in the process of tearing down a 1986 911 carrera 3.2 to replace a few broken head studs, Valve guide and seals change. I am trying to remove the pistons and sleeves as a unit. I have #1 at TDC and have slid the cylinder off far enough to expose the wrist pin. (Removed cam housing)
Question: Is there any special way to remove the Circlips. This application seem a little different from what I am accustomed to. usually I would use a (C) clip tool to remove this type of retainer, but I see no holes or hooks on which to put the tool..

Is this Circlip just a piece of circular stiff wire?. how best to remove it.. Thanks for any help..
