Yes, simply place a small screwdriver in the groove on one side and lever it up then slide half the clip in so that it pushes your screwdriver backwards and out, then lever the other side up and do the same. Bit of skill involved I guess but I've done them for years and haven't had an issue. I've seen some fancy spring compressors made up to do the job over the years but I've never needed one.
Cheers,
