Pull up on the tab and kinda give it a jiggle. If you're careful you can use a large screwdriver to help it off. If you go to any decent auto parts store they'll have the tool you can buy also.

Time to  start getting the parts to roll in as far as what you`ll need and also time ta think about the tools you`ll need as well.But i dunno what to tell a man if you had your shop you could be pulling the drivetrain out, the cab off and could be starting to clean the frmae, its gotta be real tough to do any of this in the elements.

thanks
