Can be done, but not easy.  You'll need several screwdrivers, and probably
have to grind the tips to fit into the splines.

The process also will usually over-extend the clip, which means it should
not be reused.  I suggest you buy several replacements, in case of a "do
over".

Next time around, I plan to try to make another replica of the factory tool,
this time with better steel than I used before.
