Pro Grill TSS Cover push nut removal

I was wondering if anyone has any tips for removing the push nuts that hold on the TSS cover on a Pro Grill? This is an OEM grill and I need to remove the default cover to put the TSS cover on. The problem is these push nuts are a-holes and I don't want to break the grill.

Small jewelry screwdrivers don't seem to move it much. I was thinking Dremel and cutting them off, but worried I might cut into the plastic.

Any tips?

 

Get under the washer with a 90 degree pick and bend the tabs out more to loosen the grip on the stud. Also try turning the washer like you’re taking off a nut.

 

heat gun also works great. Heat up and spray WD40 it should pop right out

 

That worked well! Thanks!

 

I didn't get that far, the 90 degree pick took care of it! Thanks!
