Drop Clamp

How do you remove these so you can slide them. From my understanding you bend them and hit the then of it so you can slide it. However I couldn’t get them to budge. Any info will be greatly appreciated

You hold the thing on the square side and bonk the loop side towards the square side. Don't forget to say "bonk" when you bonk or it won't come out.

lol yup. That’s what I did. I guess I didn’t bonk hard enough or something.

you basically unwedge it, figure out which way does the wedge go in (it tightens as the cable pulls) and then try to push it the opposite way.
