this is going to sound really silly,"but'' I USE A CLAW HAMMER i use the claw end to gently lift the undersides of the chrome stips up ,as it is using both teeth on the claw not just one pressure point,

 

i havnt bent a set yet!

Just use your hands. I removed all of mine without any tools, just be very careful and go slow.

Piece of hard wood shaped like a chisel & tap it off with a hammer from the bottom edge. Goes back on with a rubber mallet. Have done it this way plenty of time without damage...

Use a flat tool like a brick trowler and wedge the flat part just on the bottom lip part on the underside of gutter then use a rubber mallet to bang the trowler gently. If you do it this way slowly you won't warp the metal. Its scary the first time but works great after you get used to it. never had any issues doing it this way
