I've read a lot about tools to compress the gas tubes on doors. Anyone found an easy way to remove the retaining clips? I had similar lift tubes on a different machine and getting the clips off to change the tube was almost as much hassle as compressing the tubes. Or am I overthinking this and should just use a crowbar?

I changed all my tubes when I bought my coach. I used a Bessey wood clamp and it worked for me. Chester has made a tool that works only to do this job.

I just used a flat blade screwdriver to lift the clip up.
