-pull the snap ring (tool required to push down the flat strg lock plate, easily made or rented/borrowed/bought. google it for info)

For years I did this task without the special tool. The secret is to use two sticks / screwdrivers / hammer handles on opposite sides of the plate to depress it to make room beneath the snap ring then use one hand to keep the plate held down while using the other to pop the snap ring. Yes, it is more work. But it can be done.
