IMO Things wenat fairly easy for my as I picked up a cheap set of Door Panel/Trim removal tools off E Bay about 8$
Start by looking under the Rocker Panel and car.
You will see the clips..
4 on the bottom 8 on top
Remove the 10mm screw located in front of rear wheel,bottom panel side Save it! Watch out for the clip it screws into it may fall off!!!
Remove the 7mm screw in the front wheel well, bottom, panel side
watch out for the screw clip it also may fall off.
You can use the clips off the Rocker Panels if you lose any, my painter threw mine out
Start at the bottom, useing the V notch on the tool on each pin.. The tool will usually pinch the arms on the push pin and it will pop off, if not the break off still not a issue
Then tackle the top 8, using 2 or 3 tools to hold open the Panel while yanking on the bottom

I would have had pics but my camera crapped out

Hope I explained this well! Let me know if I didnt Thanks
