I am trying to take off the black mud guards under my doors for my 99 GSR and the only way I have found to remove the screw type clips underneath is to use needle nose pliers. Now these are the 6 clips underneath. Does anyone have any other ways to do this because each one takes forever to try and turn and pull out..?? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, and also another ? is once these 6 or so are out can I just pull the guard out and towards the front to get it off or are there other screws that need to be taken off?? Thanks again guys you have been great with all other questions that I have had.

 

there's a tool especially designed to remove clips...looks like a claw on a hammer but smaller....

 

oh really do you know what it is called or anything? Is this something that I could buy in autozone?

 

probaby..my local hardware store even carries it...go to Autozone and ask for a clip remover...they're pretty common

 

I don't know if it's the same clips I had to pemove when I put in my AEM. If they are, then all you need is a flat head screwdriver. There should be a flat surface on the side of the plug, stick your flathead in there. Push until it pops the middle part out. Once you do that, just remove the plug.

If this isn't it, then I'm sorry. It's early (I just woke up) and I propable didn't read/uderstand the post as much as I should have...


Ohlias

 

Yeah that definetly helps a lot, thanks for the input guys. Once I get these mud guards off its time to put bomex side skirt on and then the rest of the bomex body kit including front and rear bumpers yaaahoooo.....

not quite what Iwas talking about but these will work too

 

The clips under the side skirts should have a plastic phillips head screw in them which you loosen, and then pull the clip out. After they are all out, slide the whole side skirt forward and then remove it from the car.

 

Thanks guys I really appreciate it, You guys are always of good assistance. I'll try again tonight, I was able to get a few off, but it was taking forever....

 

that is one scary looking tool.
