I have 2 stick of 256 mushkin and I want to see what is under the heatspreader and I can't get these silver clips off that hold the heatspreaders on along with the adhesive stuff. Does anyone have a method for getting this silver clips off? There is almost no clearence to get anything pried under there. Thanks

Grrr I have tried that but there is no room to get a screw driver underneath the clips. This is really frustrating.
