Can't speak to your chrome piece you're talking about. Just depends on how it's fastened/stuck in place, etc. If it's attached directly to the factory door sill piece with double side tape for example, then leave it in place and just yank the factory piece off.

Don't be afraid to ****** it out. There are no screws/bolts, etc and actually if you pull on it slowly, it's worse than if you just yank it quickly. Once you get them off you'll see what I mean.
Btw, a tip on reinstalling:
Make SURE you align ALL the clips into ALL the holes when re-aligning things on the large door sill piece. Double check them. I find it best to start at the rear and work forward when getting them aligned to the holes. When all is aligned, make a fist and smack the trim piece down firmly with the ball of your fist. Bingo.
It sounds more dramatic than it really is.
