I'd like to remove two snaprings from an old Hein Werner model K
floor jack.

To me, they look too thick to be snap rings. I'd say they are mild
steel that is simply bent into place. Tap them with punch and see if
it leaves a mark.

If that is the case, you might be able to bend them apart with two
pairs of pliers.

OK. I know this one is from far left field, so blast away as needed. If it has any merit run with
it.

Get a stick welder and and touch the ends of the electrodes to the ends of the snap ring so they
stick there. Don't break them off, then use them as the places to attach other tools to in order
to pry the ring apart and off.
