Basically just pry them out. I used a flathead screw driver to put behind one side and losen it, then just gave it a tug and they pull out.

use a small flat head screw driver. They work like a toggle bolt. The whole in the dash they go into, gets larger in diameter as you push the vent in. So the sides of the vent clip into the larger section. So use the screw driver to pry the side alittle and pull.
