i use needlenose pliers...  be CAREFUL not to catch the part of the lever
that slides over the metal tab on the climate control faceplate - otherwise
you'll crack the faceplate too..  i usually use a thin flathead to hold it down
while im pulling w/ the needlenose pliers...
BTW - use alittle grease on the metal tabs before you put the new ones
on...so they'll be easier to remove next time..
