Piston wrist pin removal

[acoolmf]

Now I have the motor out of the bike and on my bench. The cylinders off and noticed the clips that hold the wrist pins in the piston are not like the C clips but instead look like the are spiral clips. What is the best way to remove these since my Harley tool is not going to work on this clip.

Small screw driver or dental pick to get the spiral started. Then take a set of needle nose or small pliers and work it out of the piston.
