Well, I don't know if it's a strategy or not, but it only takes tools. On
the anzhonda600owners@yahoogroups.com group site I show the tools. there
are three clips in front and three in back. You need to push them back and
then find a way to lift the tab up so it will cross the body edge. Then
just pull it out. Honda shop manuals even show you where the tabs are.
This is not brain surgery.
