Motor shaft keys

I’m having trouble figuring out how to remove the keys from the motor shafts. As I don‘t have a way of machining the sprockets to fit with the keys I’ve opted to remove them. What’s the best way you’ve found of doing that?

I have been using a small pair of vise grips, they need to have a clean (not rounded or dinged) front edge. I then gripped the key with the nose of the vise grips and wiggled them out.
