help..replacing drivers front fender
hey guys. i was hoping someone on here could give me some instruction on how to replace my drivers side fender. i havent ever tried doing any kind of body work, so before i jump into it, i wanted to see if i could get some experienced tips first. does it just bolt on/off, anything i might need to make sure i dont do?? thanks for the help

gonna wanna get yourself a good 10mm and 8mm socket and start unbolting all bolts that attach to the fender. might want to soak in some pb blaster for about 15 min. next your gonna wanna take out the bolts that hold the fender and bumber together on the inside. take of plastic headlight surroundings to get in there. next i took off the the inner fender cover to gain some more access, you might not have to but i did cause mine was crunched pretty good. the i took off the bolts that were in the door jam. finaly took off the bolts on the top of the fender. expect the bolts that hold the fender to the bumber to be a pain and allow yourself some time. i hope this helps you out a bit.
