Yes, I took the front liner out to make access easier. Only takes 5 minutes and then everything is just there.

You are joking? The only way to get the liners off on mine would be to grind the heads off all the screws then remove the remains and fit new fastners, certainly not a 5 minute job:rolleyes:

Unless you have mud flaps fitted, just five push in plastic rivets. Very easy to remove with the correct tool. Reusable :)

Wammers is correct. Mine had little plastic rivets that were easy to extract and indeed reusable. Still on there now with no rattling.

Sounds like a previous owner didn't like plastic rivets?
 
G, yuo almost certainly can do it without removing the liner but it was my first time and I wanted to see what I was doing properly. Having done it I'll do it again because it made everything so easy!

Of course, if I had corroded steel bolts holding it in place I'd have been under the car in seconds!
 
so are we saying its easier with the liners out or in :confused: i would have thought by the time you mess on taking the liners out the clips would have been removed :p
 
The one clip I could not reach was accessed by drilling small hole in liner then pinging it off with screwdriver (V8)

Don't they all have mud flaps fitted? There is one plastic fastner and 3 or 4 rusted screws, they can't even be ground off easily as they are recessed into the mudflap. I gave up and found the liner was easily levered out enough to access the clips.:)

Maybe a good idea to spend a day replacing mud flap fasteners and waxing them up. They screw into plastic retainers so with the head off should be easy to remove with grips. One job for me to do this summer. Should be around five plastic rivets holding liner on. Easy to remove with correct tool and can be reused. These http://www.rimmerbros.co.uk/Item--i-ANR2224

I'll wait for the feckers to rust off then replace them, not going to waste my time on it.
