Need detailed help on removing front fender

MustangV6Man? · December 9th, 2011, 06:06 PM

I want to remove my front right fender on my car to touch it up a bit and pound out a tiny dent. I know the four bolts under the hood and maybe a bolt or two in the door area, is there anything else to do? Hoping to get this off easy.

Yeah its not that hard. In addition to the 4 8mm bolts you are referring to there are two more 8mm bolts that you will need a couple long extensions for. Facing the front of the car, open up the door about a third of the way and you should see them. Take off the sideskirt elbow and you will see two more 8mm bolts. Also you will need to remove the blinker light because behind it are two more 8mm bolts going into the front of the fender. That should be it.

Blinker light easy to remove? So the bottom molding part has to be removed even on a sixxer?

Just the elbow of the sideskirt has to be removed. You only need a flat head screw driver. Its pretty simple. Yeah the blinker light comes out after you remove i think 1 10 or 11mm nut.
