You can spray some carb cleaner on the shim and it will disolve the oil under the shim then use compressed air or a dental pick to get it out.

Are you keeping the shims and other parts together with the cylinder it came out of? Roy

I don't have the "special" tool they recommend to compress all 4 piston rings while I slide the jugs back on. Is there another way of doing it?

Buy two regular ring compressors (~$10 each) and do two cylinders at a time. Turn the engine over a little so two pistons (either 2&3 or 1&4) are at the top of their stroke and the other two are at the bottom. Get the higher two into their cyls , turn the engine over some more and repeat
