Usually is, normal pliers pulling them open can do it just be careful it doesn't ping off in your face but getting them back on can be a pain if they're a bit snug. With spreaders though it takes seconds

Pinching the ring back up is easy - when you have the proper tool. ooo-er.  :grin:

You need some Carpenters pincers
