Push on the top of the clip with your two thumbs and position the rest of your hand around the Sorb for a guide. This is a little upside down. The easiest way to do this is with the comp. on the floor and stand over it. Reach down to the floor and then your hands are inverted the proper way. Don't push or pull on the Sorb body. Apply the pressure to the clip handle straight down. Once you are at the limit of how much you want to press down (just enough), then change your angle of force a little to push the top of the handle towards the body of the ORB. The handle on the clip pivots around the 90degree bend which forms the clip/lug attachment point. So what you are doing is kind of counter intuitive. you need to push the clip TOWARDS the Sorb the to get the Sorb AWAY from the chip. TRY to do this with even smooth movements, once the clip is clear release gradually. Or else the Orb may go scooting across the surface of your chip. That is the reason you have your hands wrapped around the sink. So you can control it once it's free and guide the force so you don't jam your thumbs.
