Think pair of wire snips!

They are a one fit clip that you will have to replace with something else.

Depending on access...

Insert a thin screwdriver in the bit that sticks out, pull in both directions until clip deforms / slackens and then it should be loose enough to allow removal.

Failing that, twist the bit that sticks out with pliers until clip fatigues and fails.

Snips would be easiest though..

Yeah, fiddle around with a screw-driver. If it helps, on the other side it's likely to look like this:

I use sidecutters (wire cutters). Grip the sticking up bit and twist them off. They get mangled.
