Hi Marcus, here's something I just came up with that seems to work pretty well. I used a 98313 and got one end of the clip behind the tile. I then pressed on the inside of the arm out toward the wall of the engine part. It acts as a lever and pries the tile away very easily.

It's not a "purist" solution like Jarren's, but you can also bend the end of a paperclip into a U and use that to hook the underside of the 2x2 anywhere along the lip and once it starts to come up should be easy to pull out.

This method worked great! Thanks Jarren!
