Newby had suggested cutting a slot to then get a screw driver on them but was never going to happen still on the car. (Mat did this job on a bench).
Correction, I did it on the vehicle also mate. It was just a suggestion if you could slot them then it may be easier. (Don't worry I'm not upset just letting you know I went through the same pain)
