I'm saying "washers" for lack of a better name. They are round, about ½" in
diameter, and the hole in the centre has slits that allow it to flex as its
pushed on.

A round "version" of "tinnerman nuts".

I want to know the trick to getting them off without snapping the pins they
are on. Anyone have an idea?

If you can work one "edge" up enough to get cutters on them - cut 'em.
If not - sometimes you can gently work them off with spring hooks... but
that's difficult and very time consuming.
