Use the pliers to spread the ring a bit--put the pliers in the ring and spread them a bit. Set the ball aside. Remove the ring from the piercing. If you have a taper, lubricate it and work it into the piercing. Put the end of the new ring into the taper and pull it gently through the piercing. When the taper's all the way out of your piercing, the ring will be in. Put the ball between the tips of the new ring and squeeze it closed with the pliers. If this new jewelry is a curved barbell, once it's in just screw the ball on.
