How do you get them off without destroying them? Or if you can't, where can you buy new ones. These are the little barbed pieces that mount through your radiator with a plastic cap on the end. I mounted my PS cooler to high and need to move it. I can't get these things off no matter how hard I pull and I don't want to damage the radiator/cooler. Thanks.
find a better way to mount the cooler, those look like rad killers to me

Not all that helpful. :flipoff2:
They are easy and work well, I just can't get them off.

Never mount anythin on the radiator.
Get creative and do something on the rad support i put 2 pieces of metal on there and mounted both coolers there leaving the rad free, ok ive taken thoose things off get a flat screwdriver and poke it moving the little locks it has and when doing that just pull the lock off bit by bit, if not cut them off and get new ones, i got a pack of thoose from ebay for 5 bucks.

Thanks. But, mounting a cooler this way is absolutely fine.

I've used small diameter brass bolts,(long enough to protrude 1" past core)
with 2" washers on fins, and was very effective. rec. use nyloc-type nut
as first nut against washer.
