    Hello to all,
    I have a 2001 Tacoma 4wd. I want to take the fender flare off and paint them. I was taking the passenger side off. I removed the 2 10 mm fasteners, but the 3 small fasteners have me stumped. I cant find a socket or wrench to fit and there is no slots for screwdrivers. It looks like a small round hole in the center of the bolt heads. Any advice will be appreciated.
    Thanks, Rick

    Do you mean the red and blue plastic clips that snap the flair to the body?

    You're basically going to break those off as you pull them off (just yank).

    I just ordered a bunch of replacements off Amazon

    Maybe a pic or 2 would help. I’m not sure what fasteners you’re talking about. My (factory) flairs, there are 4 or 5 screws on the inside of the fender, and a couple more bolts on the front/rear of the fender that attach to the bottom of the body, all 10mm bolts/screws.
