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.
