I'd be so grateful if any of you guys & gals could suggest the best tool to use to remove the nut on the Native so I can switch the clip to the other side, or remove it. Thanks. Open to all suggestions!

Usually just use coins.

Quarter or Half-Dollar is just about right.

You guys have said it all...A coin is all you need.

But if anyone else reads this do you find that the clips like this loosen up quit frequently as compared to the ones that are drilled and tapped for screws???

I think that this style has a tendency to do this so use a little (blue) lock tite. I do not care for this type although it is handy to change and probably cheaper to manfacture..

It is DEFINITELY cheaper to manufacture...not sure it's easier to change. It's a BIG improvement over those useless plastic clips....
