I couldn't. some people say you can, but I had to take off my tire. After removing the well cover, you then have 2 more 7mm bolts to take off and the inner cover comes out. Maybe someone else can give you a tip on how to do it with the tire on.

That's what i did. Instead of using the double-sided tape it came with, i used heavy duty velcro. It's stuck on there good now.

Same here and the drivers side was much easier. Lot more room in there than you think. Piece of cake.
Are those bugs?
