    Plastic Inner wheel wells

    What is the easiest way to take the plastic inner front wheel wells without breaking them?

    use the tool that I finally found to take out those little retarted plugs. Then it should all come out fairly easily.

    oh... ...it just looks like a wide flat head on an angle with a line down the center. It enables you to, once you unscrew that little plastic inner screw, just put the core of that plastic insert right in the split in the center of the tool, and push, and it pops it right out. Works like a charm.

    Majestic Honda has them, and I bet if you call and describe what tool you need, they will have that, too. Honda has quite a few of their odd specialy tools on the catalog.
