Answer:Once the piston is removed from the bore the ring or rings are exposed.Each ring will have a gap or split in one place as it goes around the piston. This gap is spread open and the ring lifted off the piston.
If you need to reuse these rings or the pistons they are for you use a special tool.
If you don't care gloves are recommended and fingers will do the job.
Careful! The rings can break when flexed like this and create flying sharp steel pieces!

What tool is used to removed a piston?
the tool you are looking for is called a piston remover, sold at every local auto zone As the rings in the piston wear on the wall of the cylinder, a ridge forms at the top of the cylinder. This has to be removed with a Ridge Reamer. It cuts the ridge down until the cylinder is smooth otherwise the rings in the piston would catch on it and the piston cannot be removed. Once the cylinder is smooth, you can tap the piston out using the handle of a wooden handled hammer. To install the piston back in, you use a Ring Compressor that squeezes the rings into the grooves of the piston. Put lengths of plastic tubing over the Rod Bolts so that you don't nick the crankshaft and tap the piston into the cylinder with the same wooden hammer handle.
