Default C6 Water Fall Removal - Top Rear Fastener Removal

How do I remove the top rear waterfall fasteners without damage ...

Do I have to remove the inner pin first ...the lower 'washer' looks like it has a spot to pry up with a tool ...

I don't want to mangle the part if possible ... here is a photo from the rear ...

Yes, you pry the center part out, they make specific tools for these but I just use a screw driver to carefully pry it out. Once you get the center up the rest should just pull out. This is basically what they look like.
