Question Tailgate Trim

I went and ordered the chrome trim for my tailgate. It has both upper and lower trim. What's the easiest way to remove the old trim, especially the piece by the latch? Any tips for installing?

Re: Tailgate Trim

The long trim is held on with some metal clips and if your not worried about the existing trim, just carefully pull it off. The clips that are left behind can be kinda a b.tch to get out and you may screw some up.

The center trim is just held on with a couple nuts on either side of the handle (inside).

Thanks for the reply. How hard is it to get at those nuts?
Edit: I went outside and pried the center piece off.
