    Remove the bolt(s) from: underneath the back/bottom of fender; one bolt at the top of fender visible with door open; one bolt on top of firewall; one bolt on front of firewall; two bolts on top of core support; three (i think) bolts behind headlight; one bolt under front bottom of fender; and 4 or 5 bolts inside fenderwell above tire. *DISCLAIMER* This is from memory.

    Remember you need to either take the hood of or support it somehow.

    And dont forget to tape the edge of the door and the edge of the fender with masking tape! :Smarty: Just in case the fender comes in contact with the door. It helps to prevent chips and scratches. In fact, I would use a double layer just in case

    Thanks for all your sugestions guys
    I spoke to my father in law yesterday and he said he can fix it for me (he works in a body shop - he's been doing it for over 25yrs)
    So he's going to help me out, but he said that i will need to buy the chrome molding that goes around the fender by the tire. where can i find that? (drivers side)
    Also the Inner Wheel housing that goes inside of the fender.
    If you guys can direct me to the place to find it, i would appreciate it

    thanks in advance

    I have one if you need it. But, how to ship it across the country without it being destroyed would be a challenge. :Do No:
