I tried a simple expanding snap ring tool on the wheel and the
taper of the ring end slipped off the tool with the force I could
muster holding it in. Maybe a tool ground thin enough to go into
the ring groove would find a ledge to catch on....

This is one of the tools used for rings like that:

I have one so would give it a try buy it looks like one side of the
Wheel ring is too buggered up for it to hold now. The gap on the Pump
ring is much too wide for it. Nice tool to have around for such stuff
though...

I would try Jim's method. Vise grip to keep one side from moving
while pushing, hammering with an old screwdriver or punch on the other.
I've done that before, it works. And Don's method works too but like he
mentioned, you almost need three hands to do it
