Pretty easy isn't it? I had trouble with lining up the bracket and one of the bottom holes on the right rear side, no matter what I did. I eventually used a dremel to enlarge the hole on the OEM plastic part...then the clip went in ok.

Hmm....I didn't have any issues. Installing the rears are a pain in the a$$ though. And I love how the short screws are impossible to get a screwdriver on on account of the heads being just an inch from the tire. I had to improvise with a phillips bit clamped in a crescent wrench.

I placed the bit against the tire and applied pressure while rotating the plastic clip by hand.
