Default They suck badly.....I used a really tiny flat head screwdriver....

and just pried them off....You need to stick the flat head under the clamp, near where they lock...it takes some force but keep prying and you'll get them off. I, of course, destroyed them in the process so just bought little screw type ring clamps at Home Depot (for $0.39/each) to replace them.
