I'm aware of the neat circlip installation tool; not so much with an even slicker extraction device.
I use a very thin bladed screwdriver - should have a flatter/thinner cross section than a typical ice pick. Use two; one to pry it up from the access areas (top and bottom of the pin boss) and the other to coax it further. Once one end is exposed, grab it with a small, long nose plier and rotate it appropriately to slide it out of the groove. You don't want any bits dropping into the engine (not sure how far you're going). Have a small magnetic p/u tool nearby and a tray to collect and count the clips. At any rate, I suggest covering all engine openings with shop towels or equivalent during disassembly and assembly.
