Clipping Mask - turning clipped image into object to be edited

As simply as I can explain this, I created a collection of clipped shapes with textures from images.
I then altered the opacity of the shape (path on top), to allow the texture underneath to show through to the degree I wanted.
Now, however, I want to change the colors to create an alternate color way for this repeat pattern.
I'm having difficulty selecting the textures underneath each clipping mask and matching the colors to my mock-up from photoshop.
I think what I need to do is make the clips permaneant and move the textures to the foreground, then live trace the textures so that they are objects. Once they are their own grouped objects, I can select them and re-color.
I'm stuck though- cannot seem to figure out an easy and non-destructive way of doing this.
Please help, thank you!
