You can take a flathead screwdriver and push on one end in the direction you want to move it (up or down). Then work the rest of the clip in that direction. You probably need to relieve pressure on the perch. Not an issue with sleeve type coilovers but might be with lowering springs. It depends on the brand.

If you have enough play in your spring when the car is jacked up then you don't have to take the struts out of the car.

I use the spring clip plyers...
Like $4 at Sears, that way you don't jack up the paint.

I would recommend taking apart each shock assembly.
