Default Removing wire rings

I need to remove the wire rings so I can work out next step.
Naturally they are wedged in tight. I looked around for sharp object to edge them out but they are in solid. Getting aggressive seems like a recipe for disaster...

Is there any tips / trick you can give me ?

could you not gently ''chisel'' where the wire ends meet (guessing its not a solid ring) then hopfully the end will pop up then just pull it out with some plyers


good luck what ever you do

Yeah if I could see the end...
I am trying to work out the impact of machining the rings out versus re wiring, going up in HP so nows the time. One is damaged (flat section) so they have to come out.
I have found that machine shops look at the rings and cannot say what to do as they don't know how deep they are.
I will get a shop to take em out... thanks guys
