N18 Wire Harness Clip Removal
 

Forgive me if this has already been posted somewhere else. I tried searching the whole site and couldn't find anything. Has anyone been able to successfully remove the engine wire harness clips on an N18 engine, from the engine bay and from around the wire harness without destroying them in the process? The Bentley Manual doesn't list a way either. I can't, for the life of me, see how to these clips can be removed. Here are a few pictures of some of the clips that I am referring to:

I figured out ways to remove each of those clips without destroying them. I'm also able to reuse them with no issues at all. When I get some time, I'll update this post with pictures and video instructions. I'm sure I'm not the first person who ever wanted to remove these without destroying them.
