I'm about to replace the stock flares with some 7" ones. The local Jeep shop
here says that getting the back ones off can be hell and he charges a few
hours labour for it. I'd like to do this myself but I've noticed some of the
bolts just disappear into the body. Any tips on how to do this as easy as
possible without damaging either the body or the stock flares? Thanks!

Ya so I got the front ones off easy enough and then found out the "hell" the
Jeep guy was talking about. How do you get the rear ones off?!?! The nut is
located in some mystery chasm hidden in the body somewhere. Do I have to cut
these off and live with the sound of 20 nuts clanging around inside the body
once they drop off or can I get at them somehow?

I took mine off on the rocks. Probably not the best way, but they are off.

The best way is to take the screws out and go from there.
