A simple screwdriver or anything with a point on it works fine to pry them out. I wouldn't worry about damaging them, as piston rings shouldn't be reused and are relatively cheap anyway.

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.
