Is there a "trick" or a preferred tool that can be used in removing the aluminum trim mouldings on the sides of the truck body panel?

I know they attach onto clips, but don't want to be overly ambixious trying to remove the existing pieces, so as to not do damage to the paint.

I used plastic wedges that I cut into small pieces and taped and just worked them in until the trim popped, you can use a few along the strip so as not to bend the trim.

I thought there was a tool that would turn the clip to release the trim ?
