I'm trying to remove the fender and antenna base from my 86 2wd. I think I have all the bolts out for the fender, but it appears to be glued down along the top edge under the hood. How can I remove this without bending it? Also has anyone removed their antenna base? I can't see how it would come off the fender.

 

The stock fenders are glued down along the top edge, use a small screw driver or putty knife to get under the fender edge to break it loose, there is also a screw for the antenna behind the wheel well liner.

 

ya just keep prying on it and it will come off

 

Awesome, thanks. I'll pry it up tomorrow. I got to the screw that holds the antenna, but I still can't figure out how to remove the assembly from the fender.

 

The round chrome piece is a nut, and it should just unscrew.

 

Don't pry it off.

The little chrome "castle" on the top screws off and then you can remove the rubber boot. The whole assembly is held on with one nut on the inner fender under the plastic fender lining.

Telling the man to pry it off.

Awesome, thanks! I thought it could be a nut but didn't want to torque on it and mess it up when I wasn't sure. When they were talking about prying they meant the fender, not the antenna lol... Better safe than sorry though, thanks for the tips.
