I want to take mine out and paint them, but they do not look very easy to get to. How are you guys getting them out? Plus, I have a cracked one and need to get a new one... anyone have a LH side they want to sell cheap?

best thing to do is get a closed end socket (not to sure of size but im thinking a 10mm or so) and just reach behind bumper and tear your knuckles up. Be careful as theres a lil clip that slides em out or u will crack em like u already did, lol...
i do know its a b i o t c h to get NUTS off and theres one nut per side.

its easy
1) take off 4 screws behing rear wheels
2) take off 7 screws under rear hatch
3) the sides slide back and they pull right out you dont need to take the plastic piece that is screwed way up on teh body that holds the rear bumper on to get the bumper off

So The Best To remove It Is To Remove All Of Those Screws And What Pull The Bumper Rearward Away From The Truck And Then Remove The Reflectors?
