quick fasteners

[michael432]

going to change oil. whats the best way to remove the quick fasteners on lower side panels

 

[gmfamily2008]

small screwdriver , pop them up

ok thanks--thats what i was doing but some of the points broke off. thought there might be a different way

 

[ruffryder]

use two flat heads, stick them both in, one on each side, then twist them. Should pop them off without breaking them.

 

[michael432]

yup. that works

Patients works the best and is hard to find in my garage as well!!!!

 

[michael432]

i hear you there

pair of side cutters. use it to wedge itself under the clip, and then pull up. never broke one yet, or cut one in half. i always end up with bloody hands when useing screwdrivers for purposes in which they wernt intended for.

 

[michael432]

thanks will try that
