Default side fender screen install

Can someone please tell me how to remove the fasteners from the fender to install my screens??? i have already removed all the bolts, but cant get the fasteners off. the screens came from wcc and the instructions say to use a FORKED screw driver to remove them. The instructions have a picture, but it is a **** poor copy and you can't tell anything about them. Any help is appreciated!

If you don't have the tool use a screwdriver or a pair of diagonal cutters.

Do you just pop them out or what. I tried to pop them out with my screw driver but they wouldnt come out, and i was afraid of breaking them, and not being able to put it back on..

Pop the center out then simply firmly pull straight out. You can't hurt them.
