OK, dumb question time...is there a trick to removing the brake hose clips from a front fender? An idiot in a way too tall F-150 backed into my front fender, scraping it up, and I want to replace it with the swanky new carbon fiber front fender that arrived today from carbon4u, but I don't want to hack away at the old clips if there is a proper method.

Thanks!

I used an automotive trim tool to remove mine but that does not help you much .

best way would be to remove the front wheel and push them out from the bottom

WD 40 and a small amount of persuasion, thanks!

speaking of brake line clip,
does your brake like keep coming off the clip on the front fender?

mine does all the time but it seems pretty tight when i clip them back in. i have no idea why it happens

Mine are good, but it's not uncommon for them to pop out. There was a thread on a couple of solutions to get a little more slack in the lines which should help.

I used small zip ties to hold the tops of the clips together. Works great.
