Removing flat trim on bed?

I'm working on removing the flat stainless trim to peck out the dents in deformations from over the years in a tight garage. The cab and forward have nuts that I can access (although not easily) but there is no way to get to the back of the trim on the bed because of the inner sheet metal. How would I go about removing this stuff without stretching or damaging it?
Body man, I am not, however I can handle the dents in this SS.
Thank you all in advance.

I believe the trim uses clips on the bed sides.
It's a slight challenge, but you can get your hand between the inner and outer sheet metal. Definitely much easier with the bedside off to reach up in between.

You're exactly right. I just didn't look good enough.
Now I'll get out the band aids and go to work. Thank you.

Happy to help! If you're doing it by yourself, maybe hang the trim with a couple pieces of tape so it doesn't fall off after all the clips are popped out.
