It is best to get the pliers. Even with the right tool it's kind of a P.I.T.A. the first couple of times. You can get it off with a screwdriver but it will probably bend it. Even if you don't bend it gettin it off it's a beeeach to get it back on.

If you gotta do it now, put the blade of a screwdriver in the split and turn the driver and it willspreadthe ringand you can replace the lever. You can ride without the ring for a bit just keep an eye on the pin and push it down if it starts poppin up, and get a new one as soon as you can.

You can ease it out with a small screwdriver...just watch out because when it comes out it will take off and you may lose it.

I'd suggest replacing the retainer rings anyway.And when your buying them....get 4.
