    How do I remove the 2 plastic clips in the fender well? I've tried to screw them out but they just spin.

    Are you talking about the two below the screws? If so, you have to pry the round headed plastic pin out of the rest of the clip assembly, and they will likely break when you do.

    If you can get behind it kinda push them out, if not just pull on the plastic they are holding, that's how I got the ones out from holding on my mud flaps

    No way to get behind them without tearing the hole in the fender liner. They are very different from the mud flap retainers.

    Oh okay, haven't had to take off my front bumper yet so I thought they were the same.
