Replacing hood struts

This must be simple. How do you remove the hood struts?

There appears to be a semicircular clip that might pop out with a screwdriver, but I'm not sure and don't want to break something trying.

Pop the clip up, take strut off. Wipe blood off head from hood falling on it. Install new strut (just push them on). Go to hospital for stitches. Ok, it's not that bad but the hood will not stay up very well with only one strut, and a weak one at that, holding it.

Note orientation of the strut (body end up or down) so you remember which way to put the new one on.
