Question on how to remove stock spolier

I want to take off my 03 es spoiler. I can unsrew the 4 screws, but there is some type of clip still ataching the spoiler to the trunk. Do I just pull like hell, or do I need to get a special tool??

Not yet, I was waiting to do that after I get the spoiler disconnect from the trunk.

Yes, the MP3 wing. I believe the outermost two holes will work, but I need to fill the thrid holw, and drill two new ones in the middle to get it to work. But I need to know how to get the clips off the original spoiler so I can take it off first.
