How do you take get the hog rings off.

I use a good set of channel lock brand #338 8 inch angle cutters and have been for the last 35 years , You can either use them to cut directly thru the hog ring or place your hand on the wires the hog rings are securing and simply twist the ring and they pop right off , use care not to twist the wire secured in the foam out or you won't be able to install the new seat cover .

Last time I did it, I used two pair of diagonal pliers & twisted them open.

Thanks just got them off I was told that the old cushions would come off with out damaging them but it looks like the bottom springs go throw the cushions so I cant take them off.
