Hey Bill Valley,

Thanks for the reply. I have the instructions from BSW, and you are right, it looks like a no brainer. And get this; I had the X in for service this week, and asked the dealer (who I am pretty tight with) if they would kindly pop them off for me. They said they tried and could not get them to release. They didn't want to be responsible if they broke one. They also suggested I check with a car stereo shop who might have more experience with their removal. What's up with that!
