I can't get some of them out of the wheel well liner. (I've broken some before when removing them.) How do you remove these? Should I break them and can I purchase new ones somewhere? Hammer Time Ultimate Carjunky / Moderator May 28, 2011, 11:44 AM Post #2 of 5 (3015 views) Re: Wheel wells, plastic screws GM 1998 Sign In Just stick a screwdriver under the edge, between the screw and the plastic base and just pry it out. It's just a "push in" screw. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional. cool09 Novice May 28, 2011, 5:27 PM Post #3 of 5 (3010 views) Re: Wheel wells, plastic screws GM 1998 Sign In They are impossible to remove by prying from the head - most won't come out or they break. The plastic is not brittle but very tough - I guess nylon.

You have to get between the screw and the insert. They don't really have threads, just ridges. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.
