Are they the kind with the center pin that's pushed in or the expansion "springy" kind that just pops open inside the gap you're clipping to? There may not be a way and /or might be cheaper or easier just to break them and replace.

I have an 05 which has the same / similar liners. I sprayed the clips (there are two different kinds) with silicone spray first and only broke about three. There are some generic ones you can buy that are failry cheap, so don't worry too much if you break a couple. The lube helped me get the stubborn ones out though.

Tools: Needle Nose Pliers, Flat Head screwdriver, paint scraper worked really good.

I actually ended up using a few screws after I trimmed the liner for the larger tires to give it more strength. Easily removed.

Yeah they are the Expansion type. What a PITA

Where would I go about getting some new ones without going to the stealership? I already have to go there and but the Nutzerts for the rock sliders I built. Thats going to cost me

I will check NAPA. I have also been to Peterbilt, they have them but they are the same price as Jeep.
