Answer
Hi Tal Par...Here are the steps required to remove and install a fender on the majority of late model vehicles.


1. As safety is of the utmost importance, jack up the front end of your vehicle, and support it using properly rated jack stands.

2. Remove the driver's side tire/wheel assembly.

3. Remove the driver's side wheelhouse plastic splash shield.

4. Remove the front bumper cover assembly.

5. Remove the driver's side headlight.

6. At this stage, all fender attaching bolts/fasteners should be visible to be removed.

7. Remove the fender.

8. Install the new fender, and reinstall all other components in the exact reverse order of disassembly.



If you run into any problems, please drop me another line, and I will guide you through....Thanks for your question....Dave.
