I know somebody is gonna yell at me but. I need to take my driver side wheel well liner out to get to the knock sensor and the side marker light to replace the bulb. Things are cold up here n New England and plastic has a tendency to crack just by looking at it. So before I break something LIKE I ALWAYS DO what tool is recommended to remove the center pin of the black plastic push pin I will call it looks like 7 of these holding wheel well in ? All of the searches I have found said "just remove it" although picture links were showing up none were visible. Was thinking the forked interior tool ??

oh bulb part number if handy too thanks I think its a 194 bulb but want to put LED to be done with that thinking they are T10 ?

Thanks in advance

There are a couple of screws involved also.

 

Buy a Pull tool like this it will make your life easy.



Buy some more Fender Liner Clip Push-Type Fasteners/Retainers 11589292 for GMC/GM/CHEVY/HUMMER while you are at it. 100pcs for $6!
You WILL break some and they are so cheap and you won't care about breaking all of them. Give some to your buddy's too!






There is also a bolt at the front near the frame and radiator and depending on your rig there may be 1 bolt and 2 screws at the rear holding the mud deflector on.

Park it indoors inf possible overnight.

 

Just ordered them on EBay 11589292 Thanks for the tip. My garage just as cold as outside lol and jammed with big boy toys.

Thanks

as always great suggestions... lol!
I'd recommend a good choice of expletives in reserve, especially if it is cold and icy/snowy.
Fact is I did four of these liners on two H3 in spring of 2017 and it was a long slow process to get them out. Anything that can corrode / rust did and most of the plastic retaining snaps just fell apart from all the salt and crap from winter. The light bulbs for the side markers were a pill to say the least.

 

I just went thru replacing all of mine last week... they fit so much tighter and less rattles with new fastners.

 

i find that thread useful thank you o lof of.

 

T was able to pull the fender liner on each side (had to replace the passenger side due to a CB Photo Chipmunk Trail incident) without breaking a single clip and reused them all.

 

I ordered a T10 LED bulb but was to tall in the socket by 1/8" so put back a 194 bulb.

8 Clips an Job complete.
