I did try bending the clips inwards but it wasn't enough. Thinking on your advice, with a dental tool I was able to get some leverage below and the clip lifted out on one side. It was then obvious the two small posts were all that was holding it in place.

Interesting, not seen that before but I very much doubt it could
have been 'threaded' over the pins of a through-hole socket - so I
would guess it just has not got a full length bar underneath?
Most likely just small ears catching under each end of the socket -
have you tried simply gently pushing the end of the clip inwards or
using a small screwdriver to lever the bottom of the red clip
outwards?

Hi all,
I'm installing a NewScope LCD in a HP85662 and part of
the job requires a distribution PCB to be plugged into this
socket. Does anyone?know of a way to remove the red retainer
clip without damaging?or desoldering the socket ?
