Mudguard liner removal

The inner fender mudguard is fixed to the vehicle by the means of various fittings:
-6 mm bolts, with hexagonal head - usually used to fix it to the bumper
-6 mm bolts with a star flat head (female Torx) 
-6 mm push in plastic nuts
-6 mm push in threaded clips
-6 mm plastic push nails
​-Etc.
After all holding clips are removed, put your hand behind the mudguard on one side and pull it down while pushing it inside.
Pass your hand all along the fender to release the liner.
Incline it down from the front and take it out carefully.
In particular, make sure not to pull it out forcefully as it could be stuck in the brake hydraulic hose or ABS sensor wire.
