Assembly order.... Spring, metal plate, snap ring, plastic cover. You likely need the tool to get the ring back on as well as off. I usually do.

I think the tool you are looking for is called a lock plate depressor. Should be availabel at any auto parts store. Often you can borrow one by leaving a deposit until it is returned. AutoZone does this.
