I’m trying to remove the valves from my 40 block and after 2 hours have had zero luck. I’ve read books, I’ve watched videos Etc but I’m stuck so I come to you.

Do I remove #1 clip first? I have the pickle fork to pry on the springs. If so, what’s the trick? I’ve removed all tension from the spring (I think) and it won’t budge. I tried making a hook tool to hook into the hole and pull, no dice. I’ve put vice grips on it and pulled, no dice.

Or do I pry the other way and remove #2 first? I watched a video where he took the lower clip out first then kinda pried the spring out. It didn’t seem right.
