Quoted from canea:Those things are truly, truly awful.
Is there a "correct" way to remove them? A tool or something? Every time I deal with them, I almost break something or cut myself.
This tool works good for both removing and installing them, lost a ton of those dam things before I found this tool. Snap on or mac tools sells a removal tool that looks like one of those tools you use to get stuff out of your sink drain that you dropped by accident, but it only removes the clips, the tool in the link also installs them, plus it works on more then just one size.
