Hi mate I did this for a while but then decided to put it back on. All I did was screw the bolts back into the holes.

Thanks
James

There's no need to remove the trim.

No mate if you really feel the need to remove the wheel off the door then just unscrew all the bolts remove then carrier and then screw the bolts back into the holes in the door. easy 5 minute job.

Thanks
