Removing the wheel well liner is pretty easy especially if you dismount the wheel. However, there a good chance you'll break a few of the push pin plastic clips in the process. They're cheap, but you'd need to go to a body shop or the dealer to get replacements. The easiest solution is to just buy another clip.

Alternatively, you could remove a few of the clips in the front and peel back the liner slightly to see if the clip is visible and reachable. You can remove the clip using something to pry the center stud up a bit and pliers to pull it out further. It needs to be pulled out about a 1/2" or so before the clip will come out of its hole
