    How the hell do you get out the damn brake cooling ducts

    I tried when I got home at dusk. Gonna go at it again tomorrow. Does the fog light have to come out?

            There are little tabs on the the side I think. Put a flat head screw driver between the the crease and see if it will pop out.

                    on the brake duct, theres a male clip that slides on to the rear of the duct. technically if yours are stuck you could break those instead of ruining your whole brake duct.

                    just get behind the valence and get like the back of a screw driver and punch those little male nipples out.

                        Haha, let me know where u get the male clips from. One of mine broke when I removed the brake ducts as well.
