those plastic retainers w/ small plastic screw in the middle can be removed veerryy easily with a small pointed pick. Put the point of the pick into the screw portion just under the head where it meets the wide part of the body and pry gently. a screwdriver will tear them up in a heartbeat, once the head is out 4 or 5 threads just pull like you were. whole retainer comes out and is re-usable. BUT if you accidentally destroy one they are available on NAPA.com i believe they were 10 in pack for $5. S.
