    iv been stripping a red vt at the minute...
    took the skirts off and tried taking off the rear arches...
    i know they pull out but its asif something else needs loosening...
    the rear bumpers still on the car wether this makes any difference?

    one screw from the inside just behind the door pillar, loads of trim clips and usually a big lashing of bonding sealer holding it on.

    the rear arch is part of the bump strip and plastic pannel under the window at the bottom of the car isnt it?

    rear bumper can stay on to get arch off, iirc there is a screw that holds arch and bumper together behind the wheel
