any HMT way to take off a hks bov?

I searched on how to take it off the flange... Supposedly I need to use "snap ring pliers" to remove the inner snap ring ( "C" shaped)... I don't have these and I don't really feel like buying them either. Anyone know any other tool that I'll probably have lying around my garage that I could use.

hate to say it but you are going to have to get the snap ring pliers...they're only like $6. the hks is a pain in the *** to get off.
