Remove the locking washers from the wheel studs

[Vitalie]

Hi there

I planed to work on my brakes the other day, and when I got to rear brakes, after removing the wheels , there are so called "locking washers" on the studs.

How do you remove these? I kinda tried to force them a bit, but they do damage the studs. So put the wheels back till i figure it out.

I am sure it something simple.

Thanks
