   Tbh I'd just keep trying, mine were a bitch to get off as well but I got them off in the end, no point paying a garage. try pliers or something to hold in the clips whilst you pull.

   Man up
   
   They can be tough though. Try pushing a screwdriver on the clip to loosen it off first. Then you should be able to squeeze them in no problem.
