yeah those little buggers are a b$tch,lol hmmmm i actually have a set of dental picks that i use in the garage,lol seriously lets see you could try a tooth pick,lol i'm serious it doesn't take much pressure to move the little catch inside the plugs.... its just finding the right angle to pry at to get them to release, or maybe a staple or paper clip,lol hey i'm just trying to help you improvise man,lol good luck
