[dj justice]

ive been trying to remove my drivers side fender but ive been having troubles. i have a haynes manual but it dosent say how to remove the fender. i got the bolts on top and the one behind the bumper. what else is there?

[DRAGGEN]

two more(one top, one very bottom) open your door an you should be able to see the top one and the other is located behind your side skirt and dont forget to pull the plugs on your fender lining.

Well i didnt have the right tools , well atleast the #10 wrench for the top bolt which was was hard for me to take off cuz of the paint that was on it.

Anyone have better directions besides just the pics. I got a price quote at the body shop to put them on... 100 unpainted for install!

How do you get to the screws behind the bumber without removing the bumper?

Also how do you pull off the side skirt to get to the screws there?

You do have to remove the bumper to get the front fender off. For the sideskirt, there are probably 10-12 plastic screws (evil evil things) that have to be undone. The best way I found is to use a screwdriver bit lightly and unscrew them, while holding onto the surrounding piece (you'll figure it out when you see it) to keep the outer piece from rotating. Then you have to bang the skirt forward (towards front end) and then pull it out. I also believe if I remember correctly you need to remove the plastic liner in the wheel well...but I could be mistaken about that part.

Don't you have to take the headlamps out to take the bumper off?! Damn man... anyone in or around Nashville want to make $50 putting a fender on for me?
