popping off bumper, how to get this clip off

[Fordy55]

I need to remove my bumper, I took out the taillights ro remove the bumper screws but now there is 10 clips holding them in. How do I remove them? I think theyre called christmas tree plugs or something. Let me know if you need a picture to know what the hell Im talking about.

One style has a center pin that you pry up with a small, thin screwdriver. Once the center is up the entire clip should pull out. Or you may have the Christmas tree deals. Those just pull out but they are a *****.

Hey Lefty! Just kidding!! :biggthump Hope all goes well with the shoulder. That picture is kind of blurry but that looks like the one that you pry the center up with a small thin screwdriver. Once the center is up the rest should just pull out. Don't loose the centers because you can put them back in. Just reverse the procedure.
