The Arches linings are a bastard to remove.
All the bits you have to undo are fairly straightforward.Its just getting the thing out.Prepare for a good hand mangling as you get pissed off with it.
I found brute force helped remove it and refit. There is nothing on them that you could snap. Unless your He-Man!!!
I found jacking the car up made it alot easier to get into the wheel Arch and get tools in to undo the bolts holding the Arches in place.

Im guessing youll have to remove plastic inner arches, how is this done? is there a nack to doing it without snapping the clips?

Cheers,
