Fender removal

[99Mitsu]

Im getting a new driver fender because my old one is dented to hell. Im just wondering if the bolts are anything like the bolts for the bumper and break off when you try to remove them? Also do i have to take my hood off for removal?

Well am not sure about 2g's but I removed mine and there was no need for hood removal. Just look hard were bolt are and it'll come off.

few at the top of the fender, one in side the door where the hinges are. one underneath

The bolts were fine to take off when we removed my brother's fenders. Don't forget the bolt in the door jam.

The hood doesn't have to be removed.

I have a 99 and half of the bolts broke when I took the fenders off. I guess thats what I get for living in Michigan all those years....

If The Bolts Seem Really Hard To Get Off Just Work Them Out By Going A 1/4 Turn Loose And Then A 1/4 Turn Tight. Do That A Few Times And It Should Work Itself Free

you could drill them out and rethread it but it's not fun

damn these bolts to hell!!!! ...... i guess evryone seem to brake one or more when the remove/intall the fender . but yeah its not that hard to remove, just when you install it back make sure it doesn't rub against the door because if it does you need to align the fender
