      ^^Meaning you can't get the clip to let go? Think I just used a flat screwdriver and mine popped right loose.

        I sprayed it with PB blaster, then wiggled it with some pliers and it popped right off.

              ^^ I found my rears to be easier/quicker than my fronts. If you needed PB for the fronts, make sure you hit the rears as well. Didn't really have that problem with Batstiva. And I'm pretty sure I changed the originals.

                  The rears took longer on mine, but it wasn't too bad of a job.

                    Well, maybe my rears seemed easier because I didn't jack around with them for an hour or so trying not to have to go buy spring compressors.

                      rears took longer for me because I didn't use a impact on them like I did with the fronts.
