I gave up after about 45 min. trying to get that stupid little clip out, I figured if it was that difficult to get it out, I would never get it back in.



You have to get pretty agressive with it. Needle nosed pliers and give it a good yank! Goes back in pretty easily with a small flat blade screwdriver.

Honestly, I rebuilt quite a few for friends cars over the years because they're not comfortable doin' it.
