You need a clip removal tool.

I've never found THE actual tool but apparently most people just make their own.

I've tried removing the clips on my DC2K just for fun and it didn't work, they are in there TIGHT and I didn't want to risk damaging any of the parts, so I just left it.

So if you're going to do it, be careful, those FETs can be damaged pretty easily if too much force is applied to them.

You'll also need a screwdriver and rubber mallet to pop them back on which is probably a whole other battle.

Good luck, I hope it works for ya. That's a lot of work just to re-solder a simple RCA jack. Makes you wish these amp companies would use a little better parts than that.

there isnt a tool. it takes alot of force and even more to put them back in. i do it by hand. it takes time.
