I can see the backs from opening up the doors, but I would need like a 12'' set of pliers to get to them. Any help would be great!
You have to take the fenders off. Some people have had success by unbolting the bottom of the fender and prying up, but that's risky. And yes, if you haven't had the fenders off recently, the clip nuts on the bottom will snap off and the bolts will just spin. Expect to have to cut them off and replace the bolts and clip nuts.
