Removing wheel-arch liner DB9/Rapide...
Discussion
Have to change my dead windscreen washer pump. Just watched this great video from Steve https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PH3PrT-yEmY but he already has the undertrays off here. As this will be a job on the driveway for me does anyone know how much more difficult it will be to remove the inner wing liner with the undertrays still on? I dont mind being upside down for 5 mins unscrewing bolts but if this turns into a PITA driveway job I'll regret I'd rather pay someone with a car lift!

Possibly you have already found out?
Removing the wheel arch liners should not present a problem with the under trays in situ even if working in the garage/drive.
On a personal note I found that the most time consuming part of the liner removal was drilling out many of the corroded securing screws also I had to replace a couple of the captive nuts as they became uncaptive. Admittedly my Aston is one of the early models (05). I did take the precaution of applying copper slip to the replacement screws.
If you do have to drill out any corroded screws be careful not to get to much local heat as this will melt the liner.
