Remove the 5 or 6 (depending on your model) retaining clips holding on the wheel well liner. These clips can be used again if you take time and consideration when removing them. They are best removed safely with a trim removal tool if you do want to save them. Otherwise you can cut them off and discard them

With the wheel well liner loose, lift up on the stock fender flares to release them from the clips behind. You will then need to push forward on the flares to get them to release.

Remove the remaining clips from the body of the vehicle to make sure your new flares sit flat against the side panel.

If you need to use a rivet nut tool to install a nut into a hallow part of the vehicle’s body, do so now. Due to the fact you cannot access the back of the bolt to install the nut, you must install a rivet nut to be able to anchor the bolt. If not, skip this step.

Start installing the new fender flare by loosely tightening the three bolts on the top of the flare. This will hold it in place, and allow enough room to install the weather stripping if it was included with the flares.

Once you have the fender temporarily secured, you want to install any weather stripping that was included with the kit. If not, skip this step.

Finish tightening down the remaining bolts. Keep an eye on the weather stripping if equipped, as it is likely to move and need adjustment as you tighten the bolts.

Repeat the process for the 3 remaining fender flares.
