It is possible. They are snap rings, not circlips, they are not designed to be removed hence no rings for the circlip pliers.
You just have to struggle with some small screw drivers and hammer to persuede them out. I did both on my 300TDI one took 15 mins, the other 45mins! Once out it doesn't take five mins to complete.
Good luck and enjoy!
