I took the fender off just so I could follow Fred's video on front tire removal.
Found I could use my fingers but damn those clips are pointy and sharp. (Fred used his fingers)
Finally used some Tri Flow spray to help and the clips pushed out much easier. Only the right side one was hard to remove the other 2 are cake.
(took me 15 minutes and some
blood to get the right clip off)
If I was rich and planned better would have bought 3 new ones and just cut them off ...
(I was installing the fender extender and cox rad guard at the same time) ...
