Default Removing caliper clips?

My Saleen rims are starting to wobble alittle, more so than what I noticed before. Nothing drastic so before I go do a alignment and all that jazz I thought I'd try this out. So what do I have to do to get them out? Just pull with a plier or something?

They are on the rotors not the calipers, just cut them off with some side cutters or rip them off with a pair of pliers, they kept the rotors from falling off at the assembly plant, once the calipers were put on they serve no purpose & can cause aftermarket wheels to wobble cause they don't have the relief cut out to accomodate them.

Here is what 'jmk3' is talking about: Pull off your wheels. Look at the lug studs. There might be a little clip on some of them. If so, pull them off and remount the wheels.

Check out this post, you can see the clips in the very first photo: http://www.stangnet.com/Tech-Article...ll-061222.html
