Do you want ot save them or something? Grab ahold of those suckers with a set of needle nose pliers and pull them off.

There is a special tool fo them. But i dunno where you could get one. Maby honda?

The helms manual says that the tool is a Lisle pn: 57900 or kd3350

I have just jerked them out with a set needle nose pliers. They poped right off.

Snap on makes a tool. Not worth the money though. Just use needle nose pliers. Don't crush the seals just get enough grip on them and pull and twist. It takes a while to get the hang of it. Some are easier then others.
