Depending on the model of truck, the splash guard may be attached to the bottom of the truck with
hex bolts and several two-piece plastic push-in clips. NOTE: Pay close attention to the type and
location of all factory hardware for reinstallation. First, remove all hex bolts then locate the clips
behind the bumper cover, (Figure 1A). Pry up on the center pin of the clip with a small flat blade
screwdriver and remove the entire clip, (Figure 1B). The splash guard may also be attached to

and move the splash guard to a clean stable work area.
