            There are little tabs on the the side I think. Put a flat head screw driver between the the crease and see if it will pop out.

              I saw this and tried that... they are REALLY in there... my next plan is to break them and order new ones and get the new green taps for in the valence... rofl

                    on the brake duct, theres a male clip that slides on to the rear of the duct. technically if yours are stuck you could break those instead of ruining your whole brake duct.

                    just get behind the valence and get like the back of a screw driver and punch those little male nipples out.
