    I’ve decided not to spend my time prying out the clips and would rather just cut them out and replace with new ones. What’s the best way to do this?

    Getting a blade underneath the clip lip to cut/saw the clips may be harder than just prying them out once you get a gap started.
    There are a couple of clips you can reach the backside from inside the engine compartment and take a side cutter to.
    I did not have any luck salvaging any clips no matter what methods I tried.

    A sharp razor will take the fender side of the clip off. If that doesn't work a set of dykes cutting off the inside portion works as well.

    This works great when you have room.

    Like said above, I don't try to save them and just side cutter them off.Bivethoi 3 Pack Stainless Steel Wire Saw Emergency Saw Kit, Camping Wire Saw Mini Backpacking Saw, Cable Cutting String Bone Rope Saw, Travel Chainsaw for Wood Cutting Hiking Hunting (Plastic Handle)
