Removing a front Fender
Hi Guys,
Has anyone ever removed a front fender before? I am getting a new one sprayed and am going to fit it to the car myself.
So is it just a case of:
1. Remove the bolts on top of the fender in the engine bay.
2. Remove the bolts you can see when thefront door is open
3. Remove the bottom bolts hidden underneath the skirt(How do you remove the skirt?)
4. Remove the clamp that holds the fender to the front bumper after the arch liners have been removed?
5. Does the front bumper need to be off?
Thanks in advance.
Terry

before you remove anything take the smallest drill bit you have and drill 4 or 5 small pilot holes along the mount ares. when you reinstall the fender you can slip pop rivets into the holes to help line the fender up
