1993 Evinrude 50HP - How to replace the roller & sleeve assembly (part number 397499)

Two weeks ago the assembly was intact. Last week I noticed the sleeve was gone. Bought a new assembly, but am not sure how to remove the old one. Looks like there is a white "O-ring" (aka "retaining ring", part number 0324678) holding it on. Before I start experimenting, I thought I would ask if there is more to it than just gently prying it off. Oh, and should have bought another ring, or is it reusable? I assumed reusable, but perhaps that was a mistake.

Thanks

BTW, I saw a thread of someone else's carbs, and another poster noticed the missing roller & sleeve assy. I tried finding that thread, but could not. Does it sound familiar to anyone?

I always used an old dental pick to get the ring off and then reused it.

Sounds good. I was definitely not going to use anything with a sharp edge. Was not sure what, but sounds like a dental pick would be a good idea.

Thank you.
