I'm pretty sure you can just pull them off. You'll need to pull them out (they pop up) and you'll see how they're attached. It was a while since I pulled mine off but I do recall it wasn't so bad to get them off.

Grasp with thumb and index finger on both sides and pull straight out. There is some resistance but not a lot. You will see, on the engine side, a clip. Simply unclip it and presto, you have the washer in hand. Had to do this when blacking out.

I haven't been able to finish, already painted the rings and will spray the washers this weekend. As soon as I get them done will post some picks.
Thanks for the picks Edijak.
