Why do you need to remove the flare?
I don't know all the videos and directions say so, I only broke 0 clips and only 3 clip mounts when taking it off. I can't get the fender liner clips out for the life of me. I gor everything off I wil be good to go once I figure out how to get fender clips out and whatever clip is holding the wire on the bottom of the air box. I might have to get it back together to drive to the auto parts store for something to get it ready but man whoever said its a 3 hour job was joking, just getting it somewhere close to disassembled is close to 3 hours. and I havent started the drilling otr cutting but I guess that's the fast part.

I didn't take off my flare when installing my ARB. I try to remove as many fender liner clips that I can see from inside the engine bay (take some plyers and squeeze/push). Cut the hole for the snorkel and that will give you easier access to more of the fender liner clips too. I actually bought spare clips to replace broken ones but didn't have to use them.
If anything, you can drill out the plastic ones (assuming you can't get them out like mentioned above. Get the snorkel installed. Leave the liner out temporarily until you get new clips.
Well it's too late I got it off and I need to get some glue or something to get the 3 clip mounts back on but none of the clips broke so maybe I will to see if I can find any in the engine bay, I didn't, I can only imagine how much the dealer is going to charge me to fix this but oh well i guess a 300 dollar snorkel just became more expensive. I might buy some clips and just pull them out. I was really trying to get it done in a day but i will get everything ready tomorrow and hopefully it will be good to go on wednesday for install and being put back together.
