The key to taking performance tips off is leaving the bey together. They're the first part you want to take off.
If the tip isn't a loose one, it will be almost impossible to get enough grip to remove it if the track isn't attached to a bey, and screwed together.
Some loose ones can be removed [like my HF/S for example] without that, though.

You should really not have any problems removing it if you do that [if you do, your tip might well be damaged somehow].
And yes, I realize similar answers were posted, but I was just elaborating, so forgive me if it offended you.
