hi, how do you get these off?

they have grey square bits of plastic on the ends of the clip/clamp, maybe they come off but i don't want to force them without knowing, rusty wings wanting to come off with them.

cheers.

Brute force worked nicely for me. You can try to undo the bolts but if they were anything like mine they'll have seized up good and proper.

I didnt do any damage when I did it... except to the mountings for them, which is okay unless you want to put them back on - and you wouldnt want to do that now.

+1. Mine were rusted to buggery so brute force was the only thing that worked!

Curse the fools who fitted them in the first place.
