Default Wheel well cover removal?

Anyone have any idea how to get them off? Thinking about tackling it tomorrow and just want an idea of how involved it'll be.
Thanks

Robert, I'm talking about the cover in the engine bay. Are we talking about the same thing?

you have a bunch of stuff mounted to the inner fenders, can't image why you would want to remove them.

If I recall correctly, the front fender liners are bonded to the car with the exception of the lower portion at the back of the wheel. Could be a real hassle to get them off.

Here is an old post that talks about that piece:
