I think I just reached in there with a screw driver and pried it off. I had to get the clips out with a magnet after they down in the door..

Remember: if it sticks, force it. If it breaks, it needed replacing anyway.

I normally just yank them off with some channel lock plier. If you thing getting them off stinks, wait till you have to put them back on..

Well I got them off
 And chris- getting them off was 100% HARDER then putting them back on. Took all of 2, maybe 3 seconds
