Retainer clip: name and removal

Hi Experts,

I'm trying to replace a circuit board on a rangehood, but can't work out how to remove a circular clip.

In the picture below, I'd like to know:
1. What is the name of the type of clip in the top-left?
2. How can I remove it with common tools? (I don't have any specialist clip removal tools.)

The clip seems to be designed to easily push on, but not to easily come off.
I have removed these occasionally in the past, but this one is especially resistant.

Thanks.

Thanks aburr,

There are many types of retainer clips. Is there a more specific name for this type of retainer clip?

They may not be very expensive, but I'm trying to avoid the hassle of finding and buying the right one (size, etc). And the associated time delays.

Thanks.
