Reach up inside the fender panel and you should find tons of bolts holding the flare on. There is quite a few actually..

The studs will break with the smallest bit of force if you're lucky. It sucks when the stud just spins inside the bracket.

Got them off. I broke 36 bolts total and there are 36 in all I like how it looks without. Looks so much better
