cocktail sticks -bamboo skewers o r some times you can squeeze the sides so the top lifts to roll it out but that depends on tightness in groove and hardness

They'll work for looose and thin O rings but you need something more substantial for larger ones or those on things such as regs, then you'll need O ring removal tools. If you use tools then be careful of the surrounding area, especially brass.

try those fine point plastic toothpicks, the ones with a y shape at the other end with dental floss on, failing that use a fine sewing needle point to prick into the o-ring(but not touch the metal)

Squeeze and push forward, and wooden tooth picks.

Squeeze and push forward, and wooden tooth picks.

That won't work on a Rapid reg as the O rings are too thick and tight, that includes putting them back on again.

Give them a blast with the blow torch!

That wont help putting them back on though.

A barbless fishing hook clamped in a pin vice and cocktail stick should work .
