How do you remove the push pins in the fender liners?
 

Yea, yea, pull my "man card"! :dang: How do you get those little push pins in the fender liners to pop without busting them.

if ya mess with them they break.............they get brittle after a few years:dang:

they make a little prybar with a slit in the center to pop them out. but they still break

I will have to go "mid-evil" on a few of them to see if I can figure out a system.

They sell replacements at Autozone pretty cheap. it's worth the 5 bucks to get the satisfaction of breaking them

depending on the type if you look real close in the center of it theres a circular piece that looks like an insert....I used an awl, a small ice pick might work to that pushes it in, which pulls the barbs in. But most of them still break anyways from being brittle :argh:

They make a tool to help you remove them... It does NOT work though. Its pretty much a guarantee you will break them. You can find them on the shelf at a parts store for cheap enough though! :tu:

Thanks for the help!
I will be pulling out the drivers side to swap in a new lift pump and the pasenger side to clean and paint.

Follow up on the "nylon rivets"
 

Well, it takes 18 rivets to do both front fender well liners. I ended up using Dorman part number: 799-146, and Dorman 961-050 assortment pack. If I was going to do it again I would just go with the 799-146 and trim the heads a little to fit the 3 places around the shock tower. They were cheap but I had to go to several Autozones to find them in stock.

After trashing mine trying to use a pin tool I replaced all of them with threaded rivets and stainless button head allen screws. Now pulling them out is easy.
