Well finally got them out. I took the middle bit of the white part out just leaving the edges. So I got some pliers and gripped onto one of the metal bits and pulled and pulled but nothing. I was getting pissed with it, but since enough of you guys said they should just pull out, I went screw it and pulled with all my might.
To give you an idea how hard, when it finally came out my hand flew back and I cut myself on the edge of the tilt assembley. Now I am having a hell of a time getting them back in.
