    There's a plastic insert inside the tab that holds the clip in place. What I do is push the insert out with a small tip phillips head, then squeeze the tab with pliers and it should pop right out.

    If theyre old they may be hard to push out. Since youre not re-using them you can just hammer it out from the face of the clip..

        A small tipped torx screwdriver or phillips works fine.
