Removing Fenders

what all goes in to removing my front fenders? i need to get them off to work on my door hinges properly and im hoping its not a huge deal, just some bolts to undo without taking half my engine apart... thanks!

easy remove the bolts on the top maybe 4 or so should be a few on the rocker panel, and maybe a few that conect to your bumber. you dont have to touch your engine at all. real easy just take you time and remember how you took it off its truely so easy

don't forget the one bolt behind the trim piece by the corner marker light too. It should only take a few minutes per fender to get them off.

a friend of mine told me that the fenders will look like crap if i cant get them lined up when i put them back on...is that going to be an issue or will they be in the right place once i put them back? also how hard is it to deal with the air intake and antenna in the pass. side?

DAvid, just disconnect the intake tube from the fender inside your engine bay, and tell me how they will not be lined up....you have a bolt, that goes through a hole in the fender, and through a hole in the frame.... there isnt a lot of play for them to get "unaligned" Just do your best, and I think they'll go back on plenty straight
