Default Wheel Weights

Can someone tell me the secret to removing weights off of spokes. I have tried prying, hammering, pulling with vice grips and still can't get the damn things off. Someone, anyone, please help. I don't want to break a spoke nor do I really want to pull the wheel off and take it 90 miles to a dealer. Switching to Dyna Beads.

pry the slot in the weight open with a screwdriver, push the weight toward the wheel hub, then just slip it off the spoke.
