Is there some sort of tool ( and technique ) to properly remove those little round clip things holding the rear fascia on? I don't want to damage anything or scratch it up in the process.

Just take a pair of cutting dikes and pinch under the head of the rivit part,and pull up. It'll pop up,and then you can just pop out the whole thing :P

Enjoy

Are you talking about those plastic push-pin things? IIRC, they're kind of like the drywall anchors where you tighten the screw and the anchor expands.

With these, there's a post pushed into the center that causes the fastener to expand. Pull that center post outwards, and then the entire fastener can be removed. I used a small screwdriver as a lever to get them started, then a pair of needle-nose pliers. That post doesn't come completely out from the fastener, so don't try to yank it too hard.

Ok, that makes sense, i figured it was like that but thought there might have been a tool to do it the 'right way'. I bet i break a few in the process ( i assume they aren't special sized or anything ), but as long as the fascia doesn't fall off in my face ill be ok.

I used an old fork. Started to bend the prongs back after a while, but you can bend em right back where they go.
