Thanks for the heads up, Jay Bob.

One of the clips is sticking out a bit....so I can envision how I could secure it with string or wire and pop it out with a flat blade screwdriver. But the other clip is not protruding at all....so it's not obvious to me how I even grab a hold of it to pull it out.

Searching for small clips is not my idea of fun. I still remember having the C-clip on the wastegate actuator on my 91 go flying when I popped it out. Still can't believe I actually found the thing!
