I used a small flathead screwdriver.  I don't know, I guess I was lucky, it was

I made a "special" tool from a dinner fork.  I removed the center tine 
with a Dremel tool.  You're left with a slot wide enough that it fits 
around the post of the plugs.  Just slide the fork under the head of 
the fastener, and gently pry upwards.  The curve in the fork allows you 
to pop out the fasteners easily.
