I just went through all 8 pages of discussion on this topic. Going to replace my silver rings with black this weekend. Nervous as hell hah

Well I did it. No issues. A few bolts were harder to crack. A few were more difficult to screw back in but it all worked out. Used socket only. No drills.

I have a 2021 Badlands and today I just swapped my silver rings for the Broaddict black rings I got off eBay. I didn't have any issues with any bolts and everything came off and went back in just fine. It was surprisingly easy compared to some of the stories I've read about!!!

In short, it's my assessment that it's a crap shoot when taking these off. Some have been fine and some have problems. Just be prepared! I had extra tools/bolts waiting because I was expecting a problem. Now I've just added to the tool collection which I am fine with. So stoked with how it came out. Completely changes the look!

Guess I got lucky... pulled mine off this weekend to color change and had no issues:
