Splash guard installation

Splash guards came in today and I'm trying to install them, but I have a question. the instructions say to use a slotted screwdriver to remove the push pin on the underside of the panel. The problem is that a slotted screwdriver won't work here, since the head is completely flat. No screwdriver fits

How do I get this off?

There should be a slotted groove on the washer that is underneath the push pin head.
Stick the screwdriver in there.

Yeah, I can get that to move around counterclockwise, but it's not undoing the screw. I'm just going in circles.

You are suppose to pop it out. Gently.

Push towards the pin gently and lifting it at the same time. This is not like your regular screw in which you need to turn it until it unscrews itself.

Forgive me for my ignorance, but how? lol

Am I prying it off by sticking the flathead underneath?

Thanks for the help. That worked.

Got the two fronts installed. I'll do the rears tomorrow.

Pisser!

I didn't realize I'd have to take the wheels off to get the rear splash guards on.

What exactly do you want pics of? Just the different stages?

Ok

Outside of removing the wheels, it should be just as easy as the fronts. Drill a couple holes and presto. Done.
