Pain in the ar5e to take out the lining, i used a small phillips screwdriver to punch the trim pin centres out then just pull the remaining part of the clip. | |

I din't really bother trying to pull the pin out, i just wdged a screw driver behind the lining and pulled in as many directions until the thing came off. The lining is so stuborn to get out, you don't really need to take the whole lot out. I managed with just bending it down to get a socket over the nuts. An hours job to get them off and 15minutes back on. | |

right push the clip in the cneter and the pin that goes into car body should move inside the clip, then it will just pull out of way, or like i sed b4, just but abit with a stanley knife so u can get to the bolts | |

okay, i tried to take the warch liner off the otherday, and it seems to be held on by 1 nut and about 6 of the plastic trim things, that just get pushed on. My usual method of screwdrivers and pliers didnt work, so today i bought an actual trim pin remover (the sort of screwdriver with a forked end) | |

take the wheel, then taker the inner wingshield off(2 nuts on inside body. then take the arch nuts off(these hold on the arch and the shield together). theres bout 5 or 6 plastic bolts goin all the way along the arch plastic. once there off the arch shuld jus come off freely!! easy really! | |

The liner needs to come off, you don't need to remove the wheel but it makes things easier if you do. | |

There's bolt behind them. Possibly one pop rivet. Takes 2 mins. | |
