1g - replace sun visor clip

[therealjgall]

Hi everyone, I broke one of the plastic visor clips. I can't figure out how to replace it. How do I get the old piece off? I tried pulling the spring cap off, but it's really on there. thanks in advance

Slightly deform the spring clip by squeezing it on the OD with pliers. Deforming it partially relaxes it from some parts of the rod and it can be walked off (rotating and pulling) using the pliers.

If done properly, the deformed spring clip can be straightened and reused. Obviously, there’s a point where too much deformation cannot be corrected so go a little at a time.
