Do Wheel Well Liners Need to Remove to Install Reese Fifth Wheel Rail Kit # RP50074-58

Question:

I cant seem to get the factory wheel well liners out after removing all the fastners. to install the rail kit. any tips for doing this would be greatly appreciated it looks like I might be able to flex it enough to get the nuts on. Its still only about 40 degrees here in Mn I would think this effects the flexibility of the liner.

It's actually not required to remove the wheel liners to install the Reese fifth wheel rail kit part # RP50074-58. I verified this with Reese and also if you check out the install video I attached for this kit in a similar 2018 Ford F-250 you can see our installer able to install the kit without having to first remove the wheel liners.
