Rear Inner Fender Liner Removal

[EddieC]

Any hardship removing and reinstalling rear inner fender liner on 2008 Tahoe?
I see a number of small hex head screws and a few push pins.
Anything hidden?
Just asking before I jump in.

It should be just as you see it. Easy Peasy. The push pins often get damaged upon removal, so you may want to purchase a few extra ones before you start the job.

Thanks. Did it today and, as you said, nothing to it. The only hardship was the phillips head screws for the mud flaps. Because the screws had rust on the threads the phillips grip was not sufficient to coax the screws out and I had to cut the heads off with a Dremmel.

Luckily I had a bag of GM equivalent push pins on hand that I got from Clips and Fasteners.

Yup, once you realize how easy they are to remove, front and back, you don't mind removing them during future repairs/inspections.

I'm curious about the visual access to the top of the fuel tank with the liner out -- got any pics?

This is a great inquiry.

No. Not on mine.

Well, maybe just a little in the front.
