Yes, it'll pry off given enough force.

Mazda recommends to replace it every time you remove it.
In a pinch, we just reanneal the copper washer if you don't have a replacement handy.

Thanks for the clarification. I couldn't find any reference to the washer being staked anywhere. I have no problem replacing it considering it's probably the original that came with the car. Should I hold onto this one to use when checking endplay so I don't crush the new washer prematurely?
