The tool you have posted is for ordinary spring bars your's are much easier to remove having drilled lugs.
The tool Ratskunk has posted is what you need as you just poke it in the drilled hole and depress the spring car so it comes out you do not need to depress both sides at once and this method has virtually zero chance to scratch the lugs at all. I would highly recommend the Bergon tools as they are good quality and cheap ones are rubbish plus you should only need to buy them once. You can even buy one that has the spring bar bit on one end and a small screwdriver head on the other end so you can unscrew the buckle on the strap as well. Here is a picture of the Bergon tool as described.

Drilled lugs?
Are these not just drilled lugs? Narrow paper clip. Otherwise, the tool mentioned with Scotch tape or masking tape protecting the lugs. You could also use a Bergeon case knife, which is what I use, as its edge is polished. Again, protect the surfaces you’...

Ok, thanks much!
I have to also remove the spring bars in the clasp portion of the strap which I think the other tool would work well.
Actually I just realised I made a mistake being not fully awake.
The other end of that Bergon tool is also a spring bar remover as you just push it against the side of the spring bar that depresses and then it removes the spring bar that way. One tool should do both jobs for you although the second method does require ...
