Front wheel brake pipe Clips

[flyfifer]

How do the brake pipe clips detach from the "fender" ??

Twist and pull ?

Thinking about Pyramid Extender .

You could, but you’ll possibly wreck them. 
They have 2 pieces that stick out just enough after they’ve been inserted into the hole, to prevent them from coming back out easily. 

you can squeeze them gently with a pair of needle nose while pulling them out of the fender. But it’s easier to do that with the fender or front tire removed. 

a small pick can also be used as you rock it first one direction and then the other…

i don’t think these are the same as the FJ/Tracer ones, but they are similar.

I realised that they would have "barbs" preventing them from falling out and as you say wheel out would be easy.

I suspect that they are same/similar to the one being held.

The image clearly shows a ratchet lock on the circular bit so I will have a go at splitting it open.

@flyfifer from memory when I fitted my extender you are correct, just undo the 'ratchet' (I used a small screwdriver).
