You'll need them for other things on the bike too.
As for the clutch snap-ring, take a wooden or leather mallet and tap the clutch hub around the rim LIGHTLY, at the 4 points of the compass (not the clutch release retainer). It'll move the clutch hub back that microscopic bit so it's not forced against the snap-ring when you try to remove it.
