See if you can sift some info out of this thread:

https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/7...t-95-f150.html

Its mostly about adjusters, but has removal info as well. I just happened to be looking at it. If not enough, there's always the search.

Good luck.

The plastic blocks that the adjuster screws go into twist into the back of the housing. Is that what you are calling clips? I described how I removed them in my post.

Putting them back is much easier. Just make sure you put the right ones back in the top & the flat sided one in the lower corner. Lube the rubber mounts to save your arm & the head of the adj screw.



Hope this helps.
