Re: ok, silly question...

If you're talking of just the arms, I just removed mine. I placed a cloth on the arm where it connects at the cowl and used, believe it or not, a claw hammer to pry it up. I made sure the cloth was draped over the hammer and "gently" pried it off. Lift the spring loaded arm up at the same time if it has a spring loaded lock on it and gently rock it as you pry to loosen it if it is stuck.

Mine came up fairly easy, but I've removed them twice in the last year or so.

Good luck...

I use my brake adjuster tool with a rag wrapped around it. Works pretty good.
