Mud Flap removal

[SteezTight]

I've dot a 96' disco 1 and have tried over and over to get the mud flaps off. I have tried prying out the bolt thing or whaterer it is and about everything else possible and it just doesn't seem to work.can anyone give me some help with this?

I cut mine off with a knife

I used an air powered cut off tool to cut them off. A recipricating saw might also work. After I got mine off, I used stainless bolts/nuts/washers to secure the new mud flaps.

New mud flaps... I didn't even think of that.... 4 years with no mud flaps, and now complaints yet.

thanks. ya im not puttin new ones back on i think that it looks better with them off and they dont really serve that much purpose.

I forgot, is there anything you can do to get rid of the bracket that holds the rear flaps on once you have cut them off? maybe bending them up under the body?

That I didn't do, but a jib saw or a dremel tool should to the job.

Angle grinder. But be careful because the bracket does tie into something important. Can't remember which one, but don't cut too much away....
