How to remove original front mud flaps ‘90 Westy California

Post by sweetaswesty »

Hi
Can anyone advise?
I’m trying to remove the original front mud flaps from our 1991 Westy California. The two little bolts undid easily but the flaps seem to be held to the edge of the wheel arch by strong clips.
Is there an easy or proper way to remove these? Or do I just try and lever them off with a screwdriver?
I don’t want to force them off ideally because the flaps and fixings are in good condition and not replaceable I think.
Thanks! Hopefully!

As far as I am aware they just lever off.

Thanks Rob.
They came off quite easily. I didn’t lever the clips but tapped them off and they look like they’re OK to reuse.
