So I am trying to take off my 07' FX4 fender flares and it is IMPOSSIBLE. I unscrewed the 2 screws and clipped off the fasteners. What else is keeping this thing on? Nothing visible is screwed on and it's not double sided tape. It's not budging one bit. Does anybody have any ideas or suggestions?? I'm trying to take them off to paint. HELP Please

 

Theres clip things on the inside of the flare as well. Get some small needle nose pliers and a small flathead. All the holes are where the clips are at.

 

When doing mine, I had a lot of problem with those those little clips. I used a Automotive Fastener Remover. It worked rather well. Took them right out, might have chipped my paint a little bit but the flares cover it anyways. Just had a lady friend hold the fenderflares out enough so i could slide it underneath and pry it off. Worked like a charm. This post is what helped me determine the tools.

my flares have been off for like a week now, need to paint them and put them back on but too lazy. Goodluck and hopefully that helps!

 

Yogi.kudos I can't get to those in the front. I have a wheel well guard and it's fastened in someway. I don't know how to get to those clips. Know what I mean? The rears shouldn't be that hard. But the fronts are another problem. Im stumped. Any ideas??

 

On my fender flares there was roughly 3 screws on the inside.. A little push in clip on the bottom of the flare. I just not so much bent, but pulled it at enough of an angle to see the inside and just shove in the fastener remover until they fit around the fastener.. then pulled it off cake like.. Just took time as to not bend the flare

 

legorreta thanks for the info. I will see what I can do.

 

Got my flares repainted and they have been off for over 2 weeks xD. I wanna was the fenders before I put the flares back on and im too lazy.

Could you take some pics? Also there are two bolts on the very front of the front fenders that you need to take out.

 

this shows how lazy i am.. Going mudding without them.. Theyre still in the garage ready to be painted lol
