it asks to remove the fender flare extension, but says nothing about the 3 metal inserts that looks to be rivited into the body. when i place the rocker up against the body they will not sit flush. how do i get the inserts out? thanks i am wanting to install today.

had the sane prob. when I threw all the diamond plate on. I hit mine with my 4" grinder and they just fell back in the tub. You might want to hit the area with some primer, it does take a bit of paint off. If you try to drill them out, they just grab the bit and spin...

I used a grinder to get the rivets out, but you could also try to drill them out. I found the grinder easier though. One word of advice - throw something over your windows (if you have glass ones) because the sparks like to melt it ever so slightly, making the window feel like sand paper.

I have drilled them out with no problems using a very sharp bit.

could prolly just hit them with a hammer and dent them in may not be the best way but the rockers will sit flush
