Use a pry bar or a hammer. It should only take a couple yanks or hits...

The links don't even work.

I got them from from ford workshop manual.Im guessing the links wont work because of security reasons.The only way to actully go to the actual page is to have a password,which I cant give out otherwise,I may be out of a job.Ford is VERY picky about there trade secrets.That should point you in the right direction though.Let me know how it goes and if you run into any snags,I can give you some pointers.

Don't do it. I hate when people start adding as much as they can, or painting as much as they can, to try to be different. I understand what you're trying to do, but they'll just stick out way too much and look cheap and tacky.
