since ur prob gonna ruin it no matter how u take it off, i'd suggest cutting it off in pieces with a cutoff wheel. get the tray off and u'll prob be left with the "brackets" that are welded to the inner wheel house. again, cut out pieces. but once ur down to the minimum pcs left over, carefully grind out the spotwelds, remove the pcs, carefully grind the remnants away, paint the spots......ur done <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'> !

Or if you don't care how it looks, just cut a whole through it.
