Title: Accident
Post by: Meister on December 31, 2006, 04:31:47 AM

I got into a car accident on Christmas Eve (which sucked) and I totaled my left front fender, grille, and headlight, also my door a little bit.  So I went to the junk yard and bought a fender grille and door.

Anyway, I am trying to take off my fender now but i am having some troubles, one of the screws is hard to reach so is there a way to take it off without having to remove my bumper?  Also, what is the best way to remove my door?

You have to remove your bumper also because there the fender has a screw behind the bumper.

Got any advice on removing the bumper?

You've got 2 screws under the bumper, near the signal lights.  Look under the bumper and you'll see them. After you unscrew them just pull the bumper out gently and when you have enough room stick your hand behind the bumper and unplug the signal wires.
